Yesterday, Ghostbusters was being published by Atari, and was due to be released across PS3, 360, PS2, Wii and DS. Today, in a strange move, thatâs no longer the case.
Sony have swooped in late and signed a new publishing deal, whereby the PS3 and PS2 versions of the game will be released in PAL territories (ie Europe and Australasia) not by Atari, but by Sony Computer Entertainment. Those versions will be released on June 19, the same day that the filmâs due out on Blu-Ray.
But what about the other versions? Theyâll be coming, but later in the year, as Sonyâs takeover means the game will be a timed exclusive to the PlayStation home consoles.
As for what this means for customers outside PAL territoriesâŠhopefully Sony and/or Atari will have something to say about that later today.
UPDATE â With the release of an official press release announcing the deal, this post has been updated to reflect the PAL-only nature of the announcement.
