As any fan knows, the Ghostbusters universe features lots of cool characters and inter-dimensional lore. However, with Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, we still wanted to add something that would lure new people to the world of Ghostbusters and also excite the veteran fans.
In Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, the story begins 4000 years ago with a strange cult mourning the death of Dumazu, an ancient demon of death and destruction. Fast forward to 1989, when museum curator Janosz Poha is sent to a mental institution following the events in Ghostbusters 2. There he meets Ismael, the self-proclaimed last member of the cult of Dumazu. Ismael seeks a Shard of the Relic of Nilhe, a mystic artifact that possesses the power to bring Dumazu the Destroyer back to life, and he tasks Janosz with obtaining it. Janosz’s reward: Dana Barrett.
Some years later, following Janosz’s release from the mental institution, a wave of unusual paranormal manifestations start appearing all over New York City. The Ghostbusters can’t handle all the heat with this latest outbreak, so they recruit a young group of paranormal studies enthusiasts to lend a hand. And that’s where you come in, guiding the rookie team in their first adventure to find the truth behind Ismael, the Relic of Nilhe, and Dumazu the Destroyer!
One of the goals when writing the story was to keep true to the Ghostbusters universe. Making it funny, yet smart and sarcastic. To accomplish these goals we had the help of someone with some experience: Tom Waltz, scriptwriter of the IDW Ghostbusters comics. He transformed our storyline into an amazing comic sequence that flows between the levels to tell the player what is happening in NYC and to introduce them to the personalities of the new rookies.
This new chapter in the Ghostbusters story not only introduces the new rookie team, but links them to some of the classic series characters. Favorites such as Slimer and Stay Puft make an appearance as well, but the core of the story is focused on the first adventures of the rookie team dealing with a strange menace overcoming New York City.
Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime comes to the PlayStation Store tomorrow, March 22nd as part of Spring Fever.

@3, Rey Gutierrez said in The Drop’s comments that it should be 9.99. but who knows how accurate that is.
who’s are you going to call? XD
There’s a demo for this tomorrow. Yay for demos!!!
Ive been waiting for this game for a little while now. So it’s about time. The last Ghosbuster’s on ps3 was not that great. But, this looks a lot better and I like that it has it’s own story and strays away while still keeping the whole Ghostbusters concept. Bring on the Stay Pufts baby!
awesome! can’t wait to get this!
Sweet but how much and is ther a PS+ deal…
And now to add more money to my ps wallet
Looks awesome to me.
@#2 GHOSTBUSTERS lol!!! 8)
Hey,
Anyone know if this is going to have online coop?
TIA!
Sorry, answered my own question. This will have online coop and couch coop!
gonna guess this is 15 bucks. I’ll pick it up first day if there’s a plus discount, otherwise I’ll just wait for the inevitable sale.
Lookin good! Love the top down style!
Looks terrific!!!
I wish they would remake the old Ghostbusters game that came out on Genesis and the first Nintendo into an HD version and sell it on the PS Store. Sure the game was not all that at the time but it’d be very welcome by many, IMO.
wait do you have to play four player in this then or can you play single player.
if you can play single player then how does it work.
You can play single or multiplayer. If you are playing single player, then you get 3 AI ghostbusters to help you out.
