You must be knowing about the hit movie series Ghostbusters. It is become common that AR is being used to promote movies, like Spiderman: Homecoming.


Sony announced this at around the same time Google announced its new AR toolkit for Android developers ARCore 1.0, which is similar to Apple's ARKit. It contains the framework for developers to bring objects from the virtual domain to the real world using compatible phones.

The Ghostbusters World Game is currently in development as part of a collaboration between Sony Pictures Entertainment Consumer Products, Ghost Corps and publisher FourThirtyThree Inc. It will allow a player to capture ghosts from movies, comics, TV shows, theme parks and video games. The gameplay will be skill-based and will make the player catch ghosts from all the Ghostbusters dimensions.


It is to be noted that an internet connection and location enabled device is required to play AR games. Considering the advent of mobile service providers in India, internet connection does not seem to be an issue anymore.


As of now, a teaser trailer has been released,
