Into the Dead 2 – Ghostbusters and Living Dead Trailers

Into the Dead 2 from Versus Evil offered a pair of teasers today, for the upcoming zombie shooter, heading to the Switch on October 25th, 219. Two add-ons are being teased today, Ghostbusters, and Night of the Living Dead. Both add-ons are officially licensed and will be available on launch date, sold separately on the eShop. They will also be included with the physical version of the game.

In the Ghostbusters Add On, players will have the chance to join the Ghostbusters’ team and join Egon, Winston, Peter, and Ray as a new rookie Ghostbuster recruited to investigate a paranormal disturbance.

George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead Add On will have players following the story of Ben and his grueling encounters prior to the events of the iconic film. Fans can experience the events of the zombie uprising as they team up with country girl Alice in a fight for survival across 12 levels.

Atari Partners with Antstream Arcade To Bring Arcade Classics to Atari VCS

Atari VCS Antstream

The Atari VCS edition of Antstream Arcade will ultimately bring a wide assortment of classic retro games to the upcoming Atari console. This will also include a wealth of Atari’s own library of console and arcade titles. This will instantly unlock classic video game titles, and in addition to the existing library of 2,000+ games, it will feature the largest collection of Atari games, available on demand. These will be in their original and enhanced editions.

Accessible from the Atari VCS system dashboard at launch, the Antstream Arcade app for the Atari VCS offers a 30-day free trial, with subscription options available for $9.99(US)/month or $7.99(US)/month (total $95.88) for a yearly subscription. Antstream Arcade on the Atari VCS will exclusively offer fifty classic Atari titles at launch for new and existing Antstream Arcade users to enjoy whenever they sign on from their Atari VCS system, with additional games added on a steady basis.

Atari CEO Frédéric Chesnais discussed this move:

“Antstream Arcade is a perfect partner for Atari and its fans. Anstream’s offering lets players instantly access a vast library of games, including many Atari titles that have not been available for streaming before now. This partnership further cements the Atari VCS as a highly versatile entertainment platform and multimedia streaming device, built to embrace the best of classic and modern gaming.”
