Atari has announced a June 16, 2009 release date for Ghostbusters: The Video Game in North America. Other regions can look forward to it later that week.

From Atari's announcement:
"Ghostbusters: The Video Game, based on the smash hit motion picture franchise, is penned by original Ghostbusters writers and stars Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd and reunites many of the original cast members to recapture the unique blend of humor and fright that established Ghostbusters as a pop culture sensation.

In addition to Aykroyd and Ramis, original Ghostbusters Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson lend their voices and in-game likenesses to the original story set two years after Ghostbusters II, with Manhattan once again overrun by ghosts and supernatural forces. The player joins up as a new recruit with the original team, testing a variety of unique equipment and gadgets, to track, wrangle and trap this wide range of awe-inspiring phantasms in an all new funny and frightening battle to save New York City from its latest paranormal plague."

Hard to imagine, for me at least, that this will mark the 25th anniversary for Ghostbusters. The movie will also be re-released and debut on Blu-ray from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, on the same date of June 16, 2009. The Ghostbusters Blu-ray disc will have "new bonus features including Slimer Mode, a picture-in-picture graphical viewing experience, a featurette on the refurbishing of Ecto-1, and more."

Ghostbusters: The Video Game will be available for the PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and PC.
