From GameWatcher: "LEGO Lord of the Rings delisted from Steam, along with LEGO The Hobbit? That what it certainly looks like, as both of TT Games' Middle-Earth LEGO titles have been pulled with no explanation - and fans are wondering if Activision's Ghostbusters game will be gone next.
It's certainly not the only recent Steam casualty of licenses changing hands, but the weird thing about these is - the Middle-Earth license, like TT Games, is still owned by Warner Bros. So why have these games been delisted?"
It looks like a new Ghostbusters game is on the way, and Ernie Hudson, who played Winston Zeddemore in the franchise, is part of it.
I hope it’s like the one that felt more like Ghostbusters 3 and not like the twin stick shooter one.
Id love a sequel to the last full console game, that isometric one not so much. I would like to see some bigger funding behind this, using UE5.
Yes. I’m kinda glad that the new writers can’t come up with anything original. It paves the way to my favs
Yes yes! More like the game made during PS3 xbox360 era where you play as the new recruit getting to try out Egon's new experimental weapons and go along with the original cast for the adventure. And make it fully co operative through the story please. Would be so much fun playing together, actually teaming up with tactics or roles in catching ghosts. Each character could have different abilities.
Illfonic, the studio behind Friday the 13th: The Game, Predator: Hunting Grounds & more, are working on a new Ghostbusters game!
Can it not be an asymmetric multiplayer game? Like I’m all for a co-op experience but these guys seem to focus on making stuff like Evolve except they somehow acquire these awesome movie IPs.
Yeah I don’t care for Evolve formula . I’d love to play a Friday the 13th game like Nintendo had back in the day but I just don’t have the interest in MP 99% of the time .
Yeah if it’s following the same 4v1 formula no thanks. I think it’s time for Illtonic to ditch that and try something new.
They get big licenses and TBH they do put a lot of great details into the games, but they never are as big as one hopes for them to be. Also usually very buggy
Ghostbusters is one of my favorite movies, I was hyped until I saw the developer. The 4 vs1 model isn’t my jam.

"The latest mainstream Ghostbusters video game was Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which was originally released back in 2009, and developed by Terminal Reality. It was re-released for the PS4, Xbox One in October 2019."
Funny how you forgot to mention is was also ported to the Switch I own the Switch copy. Multiplayer I am not a big multiplayer person campaign co-op I would be down busting ghosts with a friend. I am curious to see how they will pull it off since the passing of Harold Ramis. Will they use the kids from the movie trailer, will they use a future cast like the Extreme Ghostbusters. Will they use the Ghostbusters from the cartoon you throw in the 4 women Ghostbusters and I will pass on the game that was the shittiest Ghostbusters movie ever and a waste of cash.
Replies(2)i am not too hyped with the asymmetric multiplayer part. i hope they just do something like a singleplayer game with co-op on the side.
The very best LOTR games available right now.
The middle earth license may be part of WB, but what about the Lego license? There is also the factor of if Lego and WB can be used together and licensed for Video games in this way. Since other Lord of the Ring games aren't being delisted, I think this might have more to do with the Lego license, or the Lego/Lord of the Rings dual license. Or it was always just a short term agreement to use all the licenses together.
So on and so forth. Licensing can be tricky. Ghostbusters is a solely owned IP, so one's first inclination shouldn't be if another WB owned franchise is due for the axe.
I got both of these for free recently from Humble Bundle. I wonder if that was a way of saying "goodbye" or something.
Can you still download them from your library?
Another digital game (in this case maybe three) bites the dust forever. Congrats if you have a physical disc or want to get it used somewhere, because you still can!
