'Ghostbusters' (ALL) Developer Files For Bankruptcy

Ghostbusters is a third-person action role-playing game positively charged for thrilling couch co-op with up to four players locally.

Taking place after the events of the new movie, Ghostbusters introduces new casts of rookies keeping watch over the station while the now-famous Ghostbusters tour the country stopping high-profile poltergeists. When paranormal phenomena unleash apparitions across New York City, these new squads of recruits must don their proton packs and wrestle those rogue spirits back to the afterlife!

As rookie Ghostbusters, players can level up their characters’ gear and abilities by tackling objectives, defeating ghastly creatures and discovering hidden collectibles in Manhattan’s most haunted haunts. There are four heroes to choose from, and each has his or her own unique personality and play style, bringing special strengths to support the team.

Ghostbusters developer Fireforge Games is in some deep water, facing various lawsuits in addition to an abysmal reception for its Ghostbuster movie tie-in.

In short, Fireforge Games owes Tencent $11.3 million, is being sued by Min Productions (owned by Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan) over a game called  Zeus, and was already battling a 2015 legal battle with 38 Studios accounts receivable lawyer Richard Land.
