Life is Strange devs go sad medieval fantasy with new PS5 game

By Kes Eylers-Stephenson,

Life is Strange developers Don't Nod have announced a new PS5 game called Banishers Ghosts of New Eden. The game looks wildly different from its prior work, with this new game being a sad medieval fantasy setting.

Banishers Ghosts of New Eden is for PS5 and will release at the end of 2023. The game is in development from the team at Don't Nod, who made the superb Life is Strange, but looks totally different from that teen-infested not-quite best PS4 game.

How good does this one look? Banishers Ghosts of New Eden is something totally new from Don't Nod with some seriously morose undertones. That sadness seems to underpin a much more traditional medieval fantasy than the modern realism slant of the Oregonian drama unfolding in Life is Strange. It looks disgustingly good and is another PS5 and Xbox Series X-only title, making us really happy about the future lineup for the 'next-gen.' Some of the gameplay at the end really popped — it could be that the team is ready to step up the gameplay a few notches from interactive drama, too.

Check out the new Horizon DLC, too. Okay, you know the drill. Let us know what you think and we will see you in the comments!
