New Ghostbusters Game Announced December 2, 2010

A sequel to last year’s summer release, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, has been announced.  It is titled Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime and it will be for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

What’s special about this game is that it is going to support four player cooperative play through local or online multiplayer.  The whole concept of Ghostbusters always revolved around the team.  In fact one of the rules of being a ghostbuster (as said by Egon in the first episode of Extreme Ghostbusters) is “Never go it alone.”

That said, the game will likely not have any of the likenesses of the Ghostbusters cast.  Bill, Dan, Harold and Ernie are not scheduled to appear.  The game is going to revolve around the Rookie, who at the end of the first game got the rights to his own franchise in another city.  This is probably why the original four aren’t going to appear in the game, as they’re probably too busy in New York to help out.  Here’s to hoping he starts a franchise in Denver!

Oh and there will be bosses.  BIG bosses.

Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is coming multiplatform Spring 2011.
