Thirty years ago, a bunch of men (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson) called themselves Ghostbusters. This summer, it's a group of women (Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon) who are using proton packs against the paranormal. But wouldn't it be nice if guys and girls could bust ghosts together?

That's possible in the new Ghostbusters video game. USA TODAY can exclusively announce that Activision will release the four-player role-playing game on July 12 (to coincide with the Sony film's July 15 release) for Playstation 4, XBox One and Windows PC via Steam.

The game, which takes place after the events of the new movie, features a new cast of male and female rookies who are called upon to keep New York City safe. Meanwhile, the characters from the movie-- who are now famous-- are away taking down high-profile poltergeists across the country.

Another game, Ghostbusters: Slime City, is also expected to launch in July. The mobile app is meant for select iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices via the App Store, select Android devices via Google Play and select Kindle devices through the Amazon Appstore.
