In a surprising twist, the exciting new game called Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, which is an action RPG with a captivating story, won’t be arriving as soon as we hoped. This game, created by the famous Don’t Nod studio and brought to us by Focus Entertainment, was first introduced at The Game Awards 2022 and caught the eye of lots of gamers.
In Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, you have lots of ways to play. The game is set in a fascinating world where you make important choices. There are two main characters, Red Mac Raith and his late partner, Antea Duarte. Together, they fight against many spooky ghosts and monsters in New Eden, which is in North America.
You get to play as both Red and Antea. This means you can use Red’s cool weapons like rifles, swords, and firebane, and you can also use Antea’s special ghostly powers. You can switch between them easily during battles. This way, you can have exciting fights that mix different fighting styles and make the game really fun.
After the big announcement at The Game Awards, gamers were excited for Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden to come out in 2023. But, surprise! The game’s release date has changed. Instead of November 7, 2023, it’s now coming out on February 13, 2024.
Oskar Guilbert, the CEO of Don’t Nod, and John Bert, the Managing Director of Focus Entertainment, explained that they decided to delay the release because there are too many other games coming out at the end of this year. They think that by launching in February, the game will have a better chance to do well in the gaming world.

Don’t Nod Entertainment’s decision makes sense when you consider the packed gaming schedule in November 2023. Big titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Like a Dragon Gaiden, Persona 5 Tactica, and more are set to hit the shelves, so it’s a strategic move to wait and release Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden in a less crowded gaming landscape.
It’s important to point out that this delay gives Don’t Nod extra time to polish Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden before its official launch. While some fans might be disappointed about the delay from the originally planned November release, it’s worth noting that the wait is only around four months.
