In the trailer you can watch below, EA shows off that it’s bringing full-fledged Burial to the series for the first time, with some expanded Ghost gameplay, and it looks like it’ll fit in well with the improvements to general Supernatural gameplay in over the past few years.
That’s no big deal, though – your friendly neighborhood lunatics will have the opportunity to pursue two new careers, which should appeal to their long-standing hobby of trying some brazen, deadly pool stair demolition. One is about being an undertaker and the other is about making you a grim reaper.
Here’s a description of the latter: “Work alongside Grim of the Netherworld Department of Death (NWDD) and even travel to ‘The Realm.’ Sims in this profession can experience Reaper training, maintenance, and maintenance with Kenny, the all-around good guy training dummy. Grimm Sims’ Scythe, practice harvesting souls on practice dummies, and at higher levels determine the cause of death of harvested souls. Sims in this profession can even decide which souls they will harvest and which souls they will resurrect. Once retrieved, the soul can be placed in the Nether Portal to satisfy the soul quota.

“Adventure into the haunting kingdom of Ravenswood,” reads a news article summarizing all the content included in the expansion, “where three distinct communities await to be explored, each with its own twilight between life and the future. Channels have their own connections and even experience rebirth.
