In a huge move for Atari, which had been struggling over the past few years, will publish the highly anticipated and much previewed Ghostbusters game in development by Sierra.

A source with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed for Blast that the New York-based American arm of Infogrames Entertainment will publish the game.

We announced last year that the game will be available this fall on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC, Playstation 2, Wii and DS.

This is the second — and certainly bigger of the two — development to come out of the Atari camp today. We previously heard that they will also publish a new “Riddick” game.
