Midnight Ghost Hunt will start haunting computers March 31

First unveiled at E3 2019 at our very own PC Gaming Show, Midnight Ghost Hunt showed its final pre-release trailer at the Future Games Show ahead of its March 31 release date.

Most pre-release material for Midnight Ghost Hunt has focused on a classic spooky Victorian mansion setting, but a montage at the end of the launch trailer showed the hunters exploring a variety of locales, including a museum, pirate's cove, and hospital, indicating quite a bit of variety in the final game's maps. The map variety also lends itself to more tools for the ghost team: in the trailer you can see ghost players taking control of suits of armor, a basketball, and a ship's cannon in the pirate level, with a level of utility that reminds me of the mimic ability from Arkane's Prey.

Midnight Ghost Hunt is looking like it will offer a robust asymmetric multiplayer experience, and will be available for purchase on Steam March 31.
