Atari save Ghostbusters?

Will be out in late 2009

The future of the new Ghostbusters game was looking more than a little uncertain following the Activision Vivendi merger, which saw the united publisher cutting the licensed game unceremoniously loose.

Original Ghostbusters actor Dan Aykroyd has however let slip that the game is now set to be published by Atari - but won't arrive for another year following the change of publisher.

Discussing the game with KLLI radio in Dallas, Aykroyd noted the new publisher and said the game was "a year away".

So... Ghostbusters has been saved from the abyss. Thanks Kotaku.
