Ghostrunner gets spooky for Halloween (and free thanks to Amazon Prime)

First person action title Ghostrunner is getting some scares for Halloween, in the form of fresh cosmetics. Don’t have a copy? It’s also free via Prime Gaming.

Ghost is right in the title

Ghostrunner, if you missed it, is a first-person action title that stars high-speed, parkour-fueled ninja action. Complete with a heavy cyberpunk aesthetic, it’s received quite a bit of acclaim. And now it’s ready to creep you out a bit.

Well, that might be an exaggeration, but nevertheless Ghostrunner’s new paid Halloween-themed items are pretty slick looking. A total of 6 new blades are in the set, including “the pumpkin-inspired Jack-O’, a ghostly Shroud blade, and four alien-themed katanas: Anomaly, Monstrosity, Night Terror, and Carnivore”.

“Ghostrunner continues to impress with its emphasis on breakneck speed and demand for finesse, but a huge draw for series’ fans is the cyberpunk aesthetic,” said Neil Ralley, 505 Games President. “The Halloween DLC adds to the game’s style, and we hope our players enjoy it as they await the big news we have in store in the coming weeks, months, and maybe even years…”

In addition to the above, there’s also a smorgasbord of additional DLC packs out. Those include the Winter pack, Metal Ox pack, and Neon pack. Each one adds a fresh coat of paint to the game’s hero. But what do you do if you don’t have Ghostrunner already?

Well, thanks to Amazon’s Prime Gaming and GOG, you can get a free copy this weekend. Yes, this weekend only and expiring on November 1st (2021), you can nab a free copy of the game. The only catch is that you do have to be a member of Amazon’s PC gaming service to get in on the deal.
