Don't Nod Entertainment, the developers behind Life is Strange, Life is Strange 2, and Tell Me Why, announced a new game called Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden at The Game Awards 2022.
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is an action and RPG title set to release in 2023.
The game will feature two characters named Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith, who are both lovers and Banishers. Banishers are ghost-hunters who must protect the living from ghosts until a disaster occurs, causing one of them to become one of the ghosts they've been destined to hunt.
Don't Nod Entertainment describes the game as follows on its official site:
"Immerse yourself in a beautiful, intimate, and powerful story between two fated lovers. As Banishers, enter the lives of New Eden’s communities and solve haunting cases in a mystical, lore-rich world plagued with supernatural creatures and ancient secrets.
