Phasmophobia's August update drops today with two new ghost types

Exciting news, Phasmophobia fans - the ghost game's big August update is headed our way later today with a whole bunch of new content in tow, including two Phasmophobia ghost types, some equipment to try out, and other bits and pieces.

First up, the when. Kinetic Games has announced on the game's Discord server and Twitter channel that Phasmophobia's August update droops tonight (August 26) at 7pm BST - so that's 2pm ET / 11am PT if you're based in the US. Now, the what. Following those recent teases, we have indeed got two new ghost types dropping with the patch, and it turns out some fans were absolutely spot on about which ones they'd be. The new ghosts will be the Myling and Goryo - a creepy child spirit from Scandinavian folklore and a vengeful aristocratic ghost from Japanese mythology, respectively.

There aren't many clues from Kinetic about how these spirits will play just yet, though we've got a few hints from the recent notebook image tease (above), which indicates what some of their strengths, weaknesses, and evidence types might be. But we only have a few more hours on the clock before we get to find out for ourselves.
