Word around the internet grapevine is that Sony has made an agreement with Atari to help publish and distribute the soon to be released Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Ghostbusters is now confirmed as, at the very least, a timed exclusive for all three PlayStation formats (PSP later in the year). However, the news could mean that Ghostbusters may never appear on Xbox 360, Wii, DS and the PC.

Ghostbusters the Video Game is in development by Terminal Reality under Atari, and we still do not know if the co publishing deal with Sony is in some regions or globally.

The Ghostbusters Movie License is also a Sony Property. Most likely Sony locked in a Timed Exclusive deal to coincide with the 25th anniversary of this franchise and any Blu Ray movie releases at the same time.

UPDATE: An Atari spokesperson has told MCV that non-PlayStation platforms will indeed see the Ghostbusters Video Game by the end of 2009:

“I can confirm that Sony will publish Ghostbusters on PS3 and PS2 on June 19th, and that the Xbox 360, Wii and DS versions will be coming from Atari later in the year, said an Atari rep.

“There is currently no confirmed date for the game.”
