Phasmophobia's getting some new ghost types in the next beta update

Ghosts. Ghouls. Spectres. Whatever you want to call them, Phasmophobia's got them in buckets - and we can expect more to saunter into the horror game when the next beta build drops, too. Developer Kinetic Games has teased an exciting development on the game's Twitter channel, which reveals two new ghost types are on their way.

Kinetic Games' latest tweet highlights that the two new Phasmophobia ghost types will be called Yokai and Hantu. The snapshot is of the ghost-hunting game's public Trello board, which details what we can expect from these new spooks. The Yokai (a term that refers to supernatural beings in Japanese folklore) is "a common type of ghost that is attracted to human voices. They can usually be found haunting family homes." Its unique strengths are basically very good hearing coupled with a bit of a temper: "talking near a Yokai will anger it and increase its chance of attacking".

The Yokai's weakness, however, is only being able to hear voices close by to it when it's hunting. Evidence for this beastie is a spirit box, ghost orb, and ghost writing.
