Atari has today officially announced that it has become the new publisher of the next Ghostbusters game. 

Rumours suggesting so began last week as the company announced it had made a publishing deal with Swedish developer Starbreeze Studios for the upcoming Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.

Riddick, like Ghostbusters, was formerly licensed to Vivendi, though that company’s merger with Activision meant the publishing deal had fallen through.
 
The game will be released next year to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the original movie. Atari says the game is being developed for the Wii, 360, PS3, PC and DS. "Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a fantastic addition to Atari's global line-up in 2009," said Phil Harrison, president of Atari’s parent company Infogrames.
 
"The title has built considerable anticipation and excitement among game fans for its high quality action and all-out mayhem. There's no more thrilling Ghostbusting experience to be had, short of building your own proton pack."

Maybe it's just because the election ended and it's fresh in my mind, but it looks like Obama busting a ghost in the picture. Maybe McCain. He's pretty ghostly.
