The Ghosbusters game has been receiving a fair amount of buzz, so it came as a bit of a surprise when rumors began to swirl that the upcoming game was being canceled. These rumors stemmed from a release schedule published by Activision/Blizzard where a few notable titles were absent, including Ghostbusters, 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand, World in Conflict, Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, and Brutal Legend.
The rumors claimed that the cancellations were a result of the merger between Activision and Vivendi, which could possibly lead to the sale of Sierra, the publisher of Ghostbusters. However, Sierra has since told Destructoid that "it (Ghostbusters) is not canceled and will not be canceled."
But while that statement seems to be pretty clear cut, a Vivendi representative has made things a touch more confusing, telling Videogamer.com "The only titles that we're currently dealing with are Crash, Spyro, Prototype and this other (unannounced) title." According to the report, the company is now looking for new publishers for the games missing from the release list.
It appears as though the merger between Activision and Vivendi is causing some internal confusion, as different corporate arms are relaying conflicting information to the press. Hopefully this situation will be made more clear in the future, as it would be a shame to lose the likes of Ghostbusters and Brutal Legend. We'll have more information on the story as it becomes available.
