Games Ghostbusters 3 (via Xbox).

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Thu, Nov 15 at 11:45 AM

Okay, so, um, shit yes:

Vivendi Games is pacting with Sony Pictures to turn Ghostbusters into a videogame franchise.

First title in what the publisher hopes will be a series of Ghostbusters games is set for release in fall ‘08 from Vivendi’s Sierra label.

All four members of the movie team—Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis—will be giving voice and likeness rights for the game. Some supporting castmembers have signed up as well, including William Atherton, Brian Doyle Murray and Annie Potts.

In addition, film scribes Aykroyd and Ramis will pen a story for the videogame that takes place in the early ’90s, after Ghostbusters II, during a new ghoul invasion of New York City.

That’s from Variety; there’s more coverage on the game at AICN, Game Informer, and Kotaku, with that last link containing news about multiplayer and co-op. And also this screenshot. (Click for a bigger version.)

Post-script: No, it’s not the same game as this one.

Post-post-script: Yes. My ringtone is still the Ghostbusters theme. Interpret that as you will.
