Illfonic Working on New ‘Ghostbusters’ Game?
With Ghostbusters: Afterlife busting into theatres very soon (for reals, this time), it would seem that we’re also in for another Ghostbusters video game. At least, that’s according to singer/songwriter/record producer Raphael Saadiq, of all people.
Snagged by PCGamesN, while on the Questlove Supreme podcast, Saadiq dropped news about an hour into the episode that his studio Illfonic is currently working on the game. No other information was given on the project, nor has there been an official announcement. Given Illfonic’s resume, with having worked on Friday The 13th: The Game and the more recent Predator: Hunting Grounds, it’s safe to assume that the game is in fairly good hands.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife, starring Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Paul Rudd and directed by Jason Reitman, opens in theaters on November 19, 2021.
