Ghostbusters: Sanctum Of Slime Announced

The sequel to 2009's Ghostbusters: The Video Game is... a four-player downloadable game?

Terminal Reality's Ghostbusters: The Video Game is receiving a sequel, though its follow-up couldn't be less different from the original. USA Today has the scoop on Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, a four-player, top-down "adventure" game set to hit PSN, Xbox Live Arcade, and Windows PC in Spring 2011. The game will have you reprising the role of "the rookie" in an effort to "fend off a new supernatural threat."

The details given to USA Today are rather light. Boss battles, Ecto-3 driving, and proton packs have been confirmed, as well as online and local co-op. And it appears as if the original Ghostbusters cast won't be making an appearance in the game. At the very least, they won't be voicing their respective characters like they did in Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

That's it. That's all we know. You can check out another screen of the game, said to be early in development, over at the USA Today blog. Anyone else getting a hack-and-slash or dungeon-crawl sort of vibe from Sanctum of Slime?

Not a bad direction to take the game.  I really liked the first Ghostbusters game, but if this one turns out decent I won't complain.

@LordAndrew: Will the masacore 2D platformer also have a sprint function when you push down the left thumbstick?

This reminds me of the old "The Real Ghostbusters" arcade game.

Will the PS3 version have to be patched again?
