At this point, it’s not a matter of if but when horror or horror-adjacent IPs join the popular asymmetric survival horror video game, Dead By Daylight. This time it’s the green goober itself, Slimer, representing the Ghostbusters franchise.
Slimer—the first ever ghost caught by the Ghostbusters in the original 1984 movie—quickly became a fan favorite after its introduction, making multiple appearances in later movies and even joining the Ghostbusters cast in past cartoon series as their livingly-challenged friend/pet. While a release date announcement is still months away, 2D News sources suggest a projected Late 2024/Early 2025 release.
“Make no mistake. This isn’t a nice Slimer,” said a Columbia Pictures representative’s intern waiting to pickup the office’s chicken tenders and vegan cobb salads at a local restaurant. “He’s a meaner, murderous version. He’ll slime you, limiting your mobility, then choke the life out of you. Spooky, huh?”
A Ghostbusters character hasn’t yet been confirmed as a survivor, but rumors suggest all survivors in a match will use proton packs to fight back while Slimer’s haunting powers are rumored to include phasing through walls, possessing survivors, and distracting objective-focused opponents with free Ecto Cooler.
