Last week, we learned that “Midnight Ghost Hunt,” the ghostly multiplayer game of hide-and-seek, is coming to Steam Early Access. At the time, an exact release date wasn’t announced, and a general spring timeline was provided. This week, the game’s developers dropped an all-new cinematic trailer and announced the game would launch on Steam Early Access on March 31.
“Midnight Ghost Hunt” is a 4v4 multiplayer hide-and-seek game where players can play as either ghosts or ghost hunters. As a Ghost, the restrictions of reality don’t apply. Claim your supernatural powers, including turning invisible, causing furniture to float, and conjuring a dangerous ghostly miasma. Ghosts can even hide in plain sight by masquerading as a Hunter’s doppelgänger.
Ghostly Perks include avoiding traps with Untrappable, seeing nearby Hunters through walls with Perception, and extended possess range with Ghostly Reach.
As a ghost hunter, you’re armed with ghoul-busting tech designed to cast out Ghosts from our plane of existence. Detect ghostly presences with the Spectrophone, Radar, and Pathfinder, capture them with a Trap and suck up their spectral remains with the Vacuum – or blast them to smithereens with the Spectral Cannon, sledgehammers, harpoons, salt-spewing shotguns, and more.
Hunters can also select Perks to give them a special boost. Choose from Lightweight’s extra burst of speed, Healing Aura’s health-replenishing capabilities, and a host of other powers to get ahead of the game.
“Midnight Ghost Hunt” will launch on March 31 with:
- 4v4 hide n seek mode with matchmaking
- 7 maps inspired by spooky tropes
- 10 Hunter weapons, 10 Hunter gadgets, 9 Hunter perks
- 10 Ghost abilities, 10 Ghost Perks, 8 Ghost Haunts
- Bots: can fill in for players, but are also able to play pure bot matches with you
- +40 skins, emotes, and taunts
- Custom game rules editor
- Voice chat integrated into the game
