In case you were wondering who you gonna call to report spectral malfeasance, Atari has announced that it is officially reconnecting the Ghostbusters hotline in June 2009 (via MCV). The title, which as of November 7 officially crossed over from Vivendi to Atari following the Activision Blizzard merger, is expected to come out for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS, PS2 and PC.

Looks like Come June, I won't be afraid of no ghosts. Because I will be getting this game.

Ain't afraid of no Puns.

Glad to hear they are still working on it enough to declare a release window. I feared that this potentially awesome title was going to get lost in the cracks.

God i hope this is good. I love the Ghostbusters but all of the games are very lame.

Are you kidding? Do you know how many youthful hours I spent in front of my Commodore 64 playing Ghostbusters? At times I'd even just follow the bouncing ball on the title screen and sing along to the theme song.

Hell yeah. The Commodore game kicked ass.

OMGOGMOGMGO I did the sing along to the bouncy ball thing on the commodore too, awesome!!!

Also, you could custom fit the Ecto-1 for godssakes!!!

I wonder if its going to use Luigi's Mansion-like controls

I hope it has co-op.

Darayz @ Dec 2nd 2008 3:01PM

I hope it has 4 player co op

That would be a huge waste if they didn't have co-op. Blasting ghosts with 3 friends would kick ass!!!

Nope, no campaign coop, though there are supposed to be non-story multiplayer modes:

Which sucks, as it seems entirely too obvious to not freaking include. It sounds like the devs were too married to delivering a particular story rather than coop gameplay.
