J Station X: Activision and Fireforge reveal that the Ghostbusters game will not feature online multiplayer when it is released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One later this year.
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.
This Ghostbusters video game, originally released in 2009, is by some distance the most ambitious and best attempt to ever recapture some of that film's magic in another medium. This remaster arrives just over ten years later, and doesn't much touch the original beyond a welcome sprucing-up of the visuals. What it does do is add a shine to an experience that, with the benefit of hindsight, we can see was a one-off.
Yes, but that's more of a 'passing of the torch' type film. This game had all actors in their original roles doing a full-on script.
All I'm hearing is "why not both?" Hardly a fan of online, but with a game like this you should be able to play with friends off and online.
Are they trying their hardest to make us not want this game?
Online no, coop yes
Activision at its finest.
I prefer local co-op always but why not both?
