This new level will be a medium-sized map similar to the Highschool, so players can expect to do a fair bit of walking around before they can find the ghost. Instead of the usual dark and claustrophobic hallways frequently found in the existing levels, the new Maple Lodge Campsite features a large outdoor area with multiple points of interest like tents and cabins.

The update has a number of bug fixes and quality of life improvementsĪ new major update for “Phasmophobia” has recently been released, featuring a slew of new content that should get many avid ghost hunters excited to hop back into the game.ĭubbed the Nightmare update, Patch 0.4.0 for “Phasmophobia” takes a bold new direction in terms of map design.Four new ghosts have been added to the game as well.A new medium-sized map called the Campsite is now available.These changes are all now on Phasmophobia's beta branch which you can, and totally should, opt in to through your game's Steam settings.

No measure of forewarning can prevent me being spooked and I think it's grand. Or the ghosts will behave strangely because sometimes they just do that. I'll have missed or forgotten some key change. The best part of Phasmophobia updates for me is knowing that even after reading the patch notes, the ghosts will manage to surprise me. There's always enough clutter up there to hide behind. Getting stuck in a farmouse attic won't be a death sentence. On the bright side, furniture providing cover is a very forgiving change. They'll slow down if they lose your trail, but I fully expect that this means getting chased down a long hallway on the highschool, asylum, and prison maps will be deadly. Ghosts increasing in speed as they chase you is horrifying as well.
Faster: All ghosts except Revenants will now move increasingly faster over time if they see you during a hunt.This means that there are now a lot more places you can hide in all maps rather than just closets and lockers. Better (for me): Furniture will now block the line of sight between you and the ghost.Harder: The ghost now has a 50% chance to remember where it last saw you during the last hunt and will search that area in the next hunt.Here, I'll break down the highlights for you in lyrical order instead of importance:
