Dark Horse Comics, along with Games Digital, are collaborating on bringing a fan favorite super hero back into the mainstream in a big way. Just announced are plans to release Ghost into her own video game. Ghost was a character who first appeared in Comics’ Greatest World, and was a breakout hit. In 1995 she got her own comic book that  ran for a total of 55 issues with a variety of talent working on the titles, including Eric Luke who started writing the series, and Mike Kennedy who wrote the final books. The art has been covered by numerous talented people, including Matt Haley, Adam Hughes, and Ivan Reis. Over the years Ghost would guest star in a variety of other titles from Dark Horse, including Hellboy and even a crossover with DC’s Batgirl.

“Fans of the Dark Horse Comic’s Ghost will enjoy the game and its story arc. Ghost fits perfectly within the comic book’s pantheon and provides fans with a satisfying experience from beginning to end. For gamers new to the intellectual property, Ghost will provide a mysteriously engaging storyline mixed with detective elements that any super sleuth would love to solve,” said Scott Zerby, president of Gamers Digital.

The game will be available early 2012 for PC, Mac and iOS. It will be a downloadable, first-person mystery that will center on Elisa Cameron, a woman who comes back as a ghost who must solve her own murder. Filled with multiple quests and challenging mini-games, players will travel the land of Arcardia through Elisa’s eyes and walk in a realm of existence between the living and the dead. Her sister Margo is the only one who can sense her, and the two set off on an adventure to solve the horrible crime and possibly save the world.

Some very cool news, makes you wonder if they are planning anything new for Ghost past the game, maybe a relaunch of the comic series, maybe some other hidden surprises? Here’s hoping we will be seeing more of her in the future.
