Executive producer Brendan Goss revealed in an interview with Gamereactor that the developer was contacted by Sigourney Weaver (presumably her agent) after it was announced that Bill Murray would be returning as Peter Venkman in the game about reprising her role as Dana Barrett. At that late stage of production there was no chance of including her character as she had initially turned down an offer to be in the game.
In an interview with Terminal Reality Senior Artist, Glenn Gamble, Xcast Online uncovers that a Ghostbusters demo is on the way.
When a publisher drops a game, particularly a game late in development, it puts developers into a bind. They'll end up moving onto other projects while searching for someone - anyone - to come in and publish their product. Sometimes the new publisher just ends up dumping the game in stores with zero marketing. However, the upcoming multi-platform Ghostbusters game seems to have benefited from being dumped by their original publisher.
