What are Banishers in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden?

Banishers are best described as experienced spirit hunters. They are tasked with lifting curses like the one in New Eden and serve as beacons of hope in a world shrouded in darkness.

Though the two characters you control in the game are both Banishers, they will each have their own unique set of abilities. You’ll be swapping between Red and Antea frequently to prevent the game from getting stale.

Red is a former mercenary who is haunted by his past victims. He uses traditional weaponry such as an assortment of blades and firearms while seeking redemption as a Banisher.

On the other hand, Antea was once a highly skilled Banisher who passed away after an ill-advised attack. Being unable to move on from her death, she uses her otherworldly powers to join her lover Red in attempting to break the curse that haunts New Eden.

And that’s everything we know about what it means to be a Banisher in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. If you’re set on giving the supernatural action RPG a shot, you might want to take a look at what its pre-order bonuses have in store for those who decide to buy the game early.
