Atari To Publish Ghostbusters: The Video Game

Following weeks of speculation, Atari has announced that they've acquired the publishing rights to Terminal Reality's upcoming movie-inspired Adventure-Adventure title, Ghostbusters: The Video Game. How do the two sides feel about their new partnership? Super excited of course:

"Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a fantastic addition to Atari’s global line-up in 2009," said Phil Harrison, President of Infogrames Entertainment, the parent company of Atari. "The title has built considerable anticipation and excitement among game fans for its high quality action and all-out mayhem. T 20e1 here’s no more thrilling Ghostbusting experience to be had, short of building your own proton pack."

"We're thrilled to partner with Atari on Ghostbusters: The Video Game", said Mark Caplan, Vice President of Licensing-Hardlines for Sony Pictures Consumer Products Inc. "As one of our studios’ most valued film franchises, we wanted to develop a video game that would be exciting for both new and old fans and with Atari we have a publisher that fully understands Ghostbusters, and is committed to producing engaging entertainment that fans will thoroughly enjoy."

I'm just glad someone picked it up. :D
