Sierra Confirms New Ghostbusters Game

Home : News : Ghostbusters : News Story



It’s official: the game is coming to the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC, Nintendo DS and Wii next year.


Following on from our previous report, Sierra Entertainment has confirmed that it is currently developing a brand new videogame based on the popular Ghostbusters film franchise.

As a special treat for fans, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson have all confirmed their involvement with the project, which will be hitting stores sometime next year.

“Ghostbusters is one of Sony Picture's most valued film franchises. “In setting out to develop a game, our criterion was to find a game company who was interested in keeping true to the Ghostbusters world that talent and filmmakers had originally created. The team at Sierra Entertainment took the time to prove to us they had what it takes,” said Mark Caplan, vice president of Sony Pictures Consumer Products.

"From the moment we green-lit the game, we have certainly seen a lot of passion and commitment coming from Sierra Entertainment and both development teams. Fans are going to be impressed with the game's ability to deliver a very authentic Ghostbusters experience, as well as its capacity to blow out the Ghostbusters universe to new heights.”
Ghostbusters is currently being developed by Terminal Reality for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. Red Fly Studios is handling development for the Nintendo DS and Wii.
