A new Gamescom 2026 trailer for There Are No Ghosts at The Grand reveals that LOTR star Billy Boyd will serve as your ghost-busting sidekick.
Gamescom 2026 brought plenty of surprises, but one of the most unexpected pairings comes from IGN South Africa and the upcoming title There Are No Ghosts at The Grand. The newly dropped gameplay trailer reveals that Billy Boyd, best known as Pippin from The Lord of the Rings, is lending his voice and likeness to serve as your paranormal investigation sidekick. It is a brilliant bit of casting that instantly injects a hefty dose of charm and character into the spooky premise.
The game drops players into a sprawling, haunted hotel where every corridor feels heavy with atmosphere and hidden dangers. Having a companion voiced by Boyd following your every move shifts the tone away from cheap jump scares and toward a more narrative driven adventure. It creates a dynamic where player choices and duo banter matter, which should play brilliantly for creators and streamers looking for games with strong personality and meme potential.
While the trailer keeps the core mechanics mostly under wraps, the showcase highlights how far narrative horror has evolved. Modern players want more than just running and hiding, and a compelling companion adds an emotional anchor to the chaos. We will be keeping a close eye on how this supernatural mystery unfolds as the release window approaches.
