We’re ready to believe it (Pic: Saber Interactive/Mad Dog Games)Illfonics co-founder Raphael Saddiq seems to have given away the studio’s next project: a Ghostbusters video game. Between Friday The 13th: The Game and Predator: Hunting Grounds, Illfonics seems to have become the go-to studio for making games based on classic movie properties from the 80s. And this is a trend that could very well continue as Illfonic’s co-founder, Raphael Saddiq, seems to have let slip that the studio’s next project is a Ghostbusters game.
