Ghostbusters Guía y cronología

The 1984 film establishes the team's unusual business before later legacy stories bring its history into another generation's life. That is the direct film route for someone interested in Afterlife and Frozen Empire.

The franchise also imagined other continuations. The cartoons, the 2009 game's alternative path and the reboot do not all happen one after another simply because their teams carry familiar equipment and names.

Use the legacy film sequence for that story, choosing the optional Spirits Unleashed game separately. Explore animation or another branch by interest; neither the entire cartoon run nor the 2009 game is compulsory before Afterlife.

The branches distinguish film legacy, Real Ghostbusters, the 2009 game path, IDW, Answer the Call and standalone VR. The announced animated series has separate project context. Cross-listed comics and origins are not duplicate stories to repeat.

• Original / Legacy (5 entries)

  The original and modern legacy films, with the represented Spirits Unleashed game considered as an optional related experience.

• Real Ghostbusters (3 entries)

  The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters animated branch, inspired by the film-era premise rather than interchangeable with every legacy-film event.

• 2009 Video Game (3 entries)

  The alternate continuation path centered on the 2009 video game, whose internal setting differs from its publication date.

• IDW Comics (4 entries)

  IDW's comic stories and crossovers, with individual version context rather than automatic merger of every Ghostbusters universe.

• Answer the Call (2016 Reboot) (2 entries)

  The separate 2016 Answer the Call reboot and related comic material, not a sequel after Ghostbusters II.

• Rise of the Ghost Lord (1 entry)

  Rise of the Ghost Lord's standalone virtual-reality game interpretation, optional beside the other routes.

• Netflix Animation (1 entry)

  The announced Netflix animated project, with its own future-production context rather than a currently available required continuation.

Stay with the selected branch's continuation rather than following every release as the next film. Some groups share an origin while developing different later histories.

The 2009 game's story setting differs from its release date, and that continuation is separate from the modern legacy route. Comic crossovers need individual context rather than a universal merged calendar.
