Activision and Sony Pictures Announces New Ghostbusters Video Game

Activision, in collaboration with Sony Pictures, today announced a new Ghostbusters video game set in and inspired by the upcoming Ghostbusters film, in theaters July 15th. Taking place after the events of the new movie, the Ghostbusters video game will introduce new casts of rookies keeping watch over the station while the now-famous Ghostbusters tour the country stopping high-profile poltergeists. When paranormal phenomena unleash apparitions across New York City, these new squads of recruits must don their proton packs and wrestle those rogue spirits back to the afterlife.

The Ghostbusters video game is a third-person action role-playing game featuring couch co-op with up to four players locally. As rookie Ghostbusters, players can level up their characters’ gear and abilities by tackling objectives, defeating ghastly creatures and discovering hidden collectibles in Manhattan’s most haunted haunts. There are four heroes to choose from, and each has his or her own unique personality and play style, bringing special strengths to support the team.

Ghostbusters is expected to arrive on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam on July 12th.
