Ghostbusters: Afterlife writer/director Jason Reitman has announced a sequel, codenamed Firehouse.

Appearing on Twitter as part of Ecto-Fest, a Ghostbusters fan fest, the son of Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman unveiled the next Ghostbusters movie. “The last time we saw Ecto-1, it was driving back into Manhattan: the home of Ghostbusters,” he revealed via Twitter. “That’s where our story begins. The code name is FIREHOUSE.”

The upcoming sequel will follow Ecto-1 (and the Spenglers) heading back to the iconic Firehouse from Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. A previous tweet from Reitman described the film as “the next chapter in the Spengler family story” but it’s currently unknown how that will play out.

As for returning cast members, it’s likely that we’ll at least see Finn Wolfhard and McKenna Grace return as Egon Spengler’s grandkids, Trevor and Grace. It’s also a safe bet that Carrie Coon will be back as Egon’s daughter, Callie.

Whether or not Paul Rudd will return as Callie’s love interest, Gary Grooberson, remains to be seen, and will likely depend on Marvel’s plans for Ant-Man in its upcoming MCU Phase 4 and beyond.

Will the original Ghostbusters cast be back? At the moment, we’re not quite sure. Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson made an emotional return at the climax of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, but whether or not the famously recalcitrant Murray will take on another Ghostbusters movie is anyone’s guess.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife scored a pretty big win with audiences and critics alike, with IGN’s own review calling it: “A delightfully lovely movie that will satisfy those who grew up with Ramis, Hudson, Murray, and Aykroyd, [that] will make youngsters fall just as in love with the new generation.”

As part of Ghostbusters Day celebrations, Sony Pictures VR announced today that its upcoming title Ghostbusters VR will be coming to the PlayStation VR2.

Ghostbusters VR was announced last April during the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase, where it was first announced to be coming to the Quest 2. nDreams, the studio behind Far Cry VR: Dive Into Insanity and Phantom: Covert Opps, is developing Ghostbusters VR.

Set in San Francisco, players will have the opportunity to run their own ghost-busting business. Sony Picture VR previously confirmed that the game is set "in modern day and maybe slightly in the future," but the game is not a direct follow-up to any of the Ghostbusters movies, including Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Ghostbusters VR is the latest game to be announced for Sony's forthcoming gaming headset, the PlayStation VR2. Last week Sony had a roughly 30-minute State of Play where several games were confirmed to be in development for the headset, including VR support for Resident Evil Village and an extended look at Horizon: Call of the Mountain. Other games confirmed to be in development for PSVR2 include Among Us VR and No Man's Sky.

Like the PlayStation VR2, Ghostbusters VR currently does not have a release date.

Japanese horror master Junji Ito made a surprise appearance during today's Netflix Geeked Week stream, where he announced a new series titled Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre.

The new series will compile 20 of Ito's famous horror stories, which are known for their twisted imagery and terrifying ideas. It's the latest attempt to adapt Ito's work, with the Junji Ito Collection previously appearing on Crunchyroll.

Ito confirmed that the first stories to be adapted will be from Tomie, Souichi, and Hanging Balloons, though he did not say which of the Tomie and Souichi stories would be chosen.

Tomie has special meaning as Ito's first published work, having originally appeared in 1987. The manga has been adapted into a live-action series, and at one point was set to appear on Quibli. Meanwhile, Souichi is one of Ito's most famous characters, while Hanging Balloons is a story meant to reflect suicidal urges and mass hallucinations.

To celebrate the announcement, Ito showed art from the various stories and discussed some of the inspirations behind his terrifying tales.

Ito's announcement was part of Day 3 of Netflix Geeked Week, which included a Masters of the Universe announcement and a closer look at Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. You can read our full Netflix Geeked Week roundup here.

Junji Ito Maniac will release on Netflix in 2023.

Netflix has revealed that its Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will premiere in September along with an official clip from the new anime series.

Previously only confirmed to be a 2022 release, Netflix gave fans a month to look forward to during day three of its Geeked Week showcase. The trailer starts fairly slowly, before speeding through several chaotic clips of the Cyberpunk 2077-connected anime, showing off some pretty gruesome scenes that reveal Edgerunners to be just as R-Rated as the game.

Sticking to the aesthetic of both the game and overall cyberpunk genre, Edgerunners is colorful and flashy, whether it's the bright lights of Night City or explosions of blood in the series' brutal fight scenes.

We see more of this violence in a 45-second clip released alongside the trailer, which appears to take place in the same location as The Pickup mission from Cyberpunk 2077, in which V and Jackie pick up the robot spy-spider from the electro-eyed Maelstrom gang. We see a similar negotiation take place in the anime clip, though the cargo appears to be a human girl instead of a robo. The girl is taken, guns are pulled, arms are cut off, and general chaos ensues.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a standalone 10-episode story about a street punk who becomes a mercenary known as an Edgerunner. The series was first announced two years ago in June 2020 but Netflix, alongside co-developers CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger, have all remained pretty quiet on the series since then. Hopefully we'll be seeing more before release in September.

Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelancer who occasionally remembers to tweet @thelastdinsdale. He'll talk about The Witcher all day.

Netflix has unveiled a single image from its upcoming Skull Island animated series during day three of its Geeked Week showcase.

The shot (below) is a classic of any mystery TV series: a lone footprint in the sand. It doesn't take a master detective to work out who this one belongs to though, given the imprint is something like 30 feet wide. Presumably showing Skull Island itself, at the centre of King Kong's footprint stands two characters, likely members of the shipwrecked crew that the series will focus on.

Though it's revealed practically nothing else about the series, Netflix said during its initial announcement that the crew arrives on an island full of monsters, with one king to rule them all (guess who). The series is being developed by Powerhouse Animation, the same studio behind Castlevania's Netflix series (which IGN said was amazing).

Skull Island is set within Legendary's MonsterVerse, which kicked off with 2014's Godzilla. Subsequent films included Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and the latest Godzilla vs. Kong. A further Godzilla vs. Kong sequel has also been announced, plus an untitled Apple TV live-action series, though it's unknown which of the three projects in development (including the Skull Island series) will be released first.

Kevin Smith is returning to executive produce Masters of the Universe: Revolution, a new animated He-Man production that looks to be a sequel to 2021's Masters of the Universe: Revelation.

Billed as an all-new story in the battle for Eternia, Revolution will once pit He-Man and his allies against the nefarious Skeletor while picking up right where the previous series left off. The first poster for the new project can be seen below.

We quite enjoyed Masters of the Universe: Revelation, which we described as a show that takes the opportunity to "truly go wild" in the universe's sandbox, with character who "break tired molds and dissolve old conventions."

Masters of the Universe: Revolution is one of several He-Man-related projects on the platform, which also includes She-Ra and the Princesses of Power among other shows.

The reveal was part of the Netflix Geeked Week presentation, which has been running over the past week. Check out our full roundup of all the announcements as the Summer of Gaming 2022 continues.
