The Ghost Who Walks is back! King Features and Melbourne-based game developer Art Of Play Interactive have announced the details of The Phantom, an action-packed brawler set to launch on consoles and PC. The game's pre-order campaign is LIVE, offering players an array of digital and physical rewards in celebration of the upcoming release.

The Phantom game celebrates comics' first costumed hero and his nearly worldwide legacy. Often coined “The Ghost Who Walks” or “The Man Who Cannot Die,” Kit Walker (The Phantom) defends the fictional country of Bangalla against piracy, injustice, and greed. Nearly a century after The Phantom’s creation, game development studio Art of Play is bringing this masked hero to PC and console. Alongside King Features, a leader in classic character licensing and pop culture franchise development, the project combines traditional comic styling and classic brawling mechanics to create an authentic homage to this beloved character. To capture this aesthetic, Art of Play will head the artistic development of the game, opting for a completely hand-drawn art style to honor The Phantom’s comic origins.

Play as The Phantom or his partner, Diana Palmer, in this 15-level global mission. The feared pirates of the Singh Brotherhood are battling for power and threatening The Phantom’s legacy, and it’s up to you to stop them. Use your hand-to-hand fighting skills and trusty weapons to dispatch this evil, and call in assistance from your stallion, Hero, and Devil the Wolf! The Phantom game features an original storyline created by Art of Play and approved by King Features. Experience this canon addition through full-screen cutscenes, hand illustrated by seasoned comic book artist and existing Phantomcontributor Anthony Spay.
