Ernie Hudson claims that a new Ghostbusters video game is in the works.
A story by Ghostbusters News reported that Hudson, best known for his role as Winston Zeddemore in the original film, attended Celebrity Fan Fest in San Antonio, Texas, this past weekend. During a panel, Hudson shared some exciting details about the franchise’s future.
“I just got an e-mail, because we’re doing another video game. They’re scheduling it now to do the recording, and I’m not too sure who’s going to do i. I know me and [Dan Aykroyd], I think,” Hudson said via Ghostbusters News. “I’m not sure about [Bill Murray] will do anything on it. So, there will be another video game. When they’ll bring it out, I don’t know, but it’s definitely happening.”

Hudson even explained that he’s been in contact with developers about approving his likeness for the game.
“They’ve been sending me prototypes of the character to get the image right, which they seem to have a hard time somehow creating my image,” Hudson said via Ghostbusters News. “It’s so weird to me that they can get Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis to look exactly like they look, but I end up looking like Eddie Murphy or somebody.”
There’s no official word on what studio might be working on this alleged video game project or what platforms it might be on just yet. Though Ghostbusters News claims Illfonic is allegedly involved.
The last video game based on the series was 2018’s Ghostbusters World, a mobile VR title. Since then, however, there’s not been a full-fledged Ghostbusters video game, not even a tie-in with the recent Ghostbusters: Afterlife film.
