Today, Sony Pictures, who own the rights to the Ghostbusters series and licensed the rights to use the IP for Vivendi last year, spoke on the game. They stated that they are working with Activision Blizzard “to evaluate various options surrounding the release of the ‘Ghostbusters’ video game.” Basically it means they want the game released.
Sony goes on to state that “this has presented [Sony Pictures Consumer Products] with an opportunity to reevaluate the game release marketing strategy to potentially coincide with the 25th anniversary of the original film in ’09.”
So the game is delayed into 2009, but there is still not publsiher. If you’re a publisher and reading this, want to go ahead and publish this? I’ve been dying to kill some ghosts.
