Atari officially announced today that it will be publishing the forthcoming Ghostbusters game, formerly a Vivendi title dropped after the Activision-Blizzard merge. “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 Entertainment. This comes shortly after Hollywood actor and Ghostbusters writer, Dan Aykroyd, commented that the Alone In The Dark publisher had picked the title up and that it was about a year away from release.

Intriguingly, at the time of writing, the Ghostbusters game website (www.ghostbustersgame.com) still has the Sierra (a subsidiary of Vivendi) logo on it.
