Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, a 2024 action-adventure game by Don’t Nod, is being highlighted as an overlooked title now available through PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass. The article argues that its combination of combat, emotional storytelling and consequential moral choices makes it a notable alternative for players seeking a polished, story-led action game.

Players control ghost hunters Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith after an early tragedy alters their relationship, using melee and ranged abilities to confront spirits around New Eden. Its quests can affect multiple endings, and its main story lasts roughly 30 to 60 hours; despite praise for its writing and performances, Don’t Nod said it performed below expectations. It joined PS Plus and Game Pass in 2025, although its availability may be time-limited.
