Evaluation

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden launched on February 12, 2024 as a complete, self-contained narrative Action-RPG. The game shipped with one DLC — the Wanderer Set (a cosmetic item bundled with special editions) — which was released on the same day as the base game. No additional DLC has been announced or listed on the store. The developer and publisher, DON'T NOD and Focus Entertainment, have made no statements indicating future content is planned. Post-launch communication consisted of a launch trailer (February 13, 2024), an accolades trailer (February 16, 2024), a patch addressing bugs and performance issues (April 18, 2024), and a free demo release alongside a discount promotion (May 7, 2024). None of these posts reference upcoming expansions, DLC, or continued content development. The last developer communication was on May 7, 2024. The game was designed and marketed as a story-driven single-player experience, and the developer's launch message focused on the completeness of the narrative ("five endings for you to reveal"). All evidence points to the game having launched as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle.

About this game

In New Eden, 1695, communities of settlers are plagued by a dreadful curse. As Banishers, step into their lives, investigate the source of evil, unravel chilling mysteries, explore diverse landscapes, and interact with unforgettable characters whose fate lies in your hands.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is an all-new title crafted by renowned studio DON'T NOD, known for their acclaimed titles such as Life is Strange and Vampyr. Immerse yourself in an intimate narrative Action-RPG, taking you on an exhilarating journey between life, death, love and sacrifices.

Play as a couple of Banishers, Red and Antea, experienced spirit hunters entrusted with the daunting task of dispelling a malevolent curse through powerful rituals. Protect the living from the threat of lingering ghosts and specters, and become a beacon of hope in a world consumed by darkness.

Experience a heart-wrenching love story between Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith. When Antea is killed and turned into a spirit, you find yourself facing a choice. Will you uphold your oath and ascend her soul, or will you sacrifice the living in the hope of bringing her back? Your decisions will shape the fate of New Eden’s inhabitants - may they be living or dead, and determine the end of your journey.

BLAME the living and sacrifice their lives, holding them responsible for their actions
BANISH souls of the departed, condemning them to eternal suffering
ASCEND souls, liberating them from eternal sorrow and granting them serenity

Banishers are specialized in combat against undead creatures, such as specters or ghosts. Combine Red's physical arsenal with Antea's supernatural powers in a dynamic combat system. Find your own style by mixing weapon attacks and spiritual abilities. Powerful synergies will lead you to defeat New Eden’s most dangerous enemies and bosses.

Unleash the full power of the Banishers by unlocking new gear and supernatural abilities. By exploring New Eden, you will find ancient artifacts, trinkets and valuable resources to enhance your equipment in preparation of future fights. In addition to your arsenal, progress in Antea’s skill trees to upgrade her devastating spectral powers and unseal new combos.

Investigate haunting cases in a mystical world full of dark secrets. Discover New Eden, a North America settlement marked by terrible stories and secrets of its tormented inhabitants. Understanding each resident’s motivations will be essential to guide your decisions throughout the game.
