Announced prior to E3 2019 was that 2009's Ghostbusters: The Video Game, would be getting a remastered release for modern platforms. Although, if you're looking to get your hands on a physical copy of the game and live in North America, there's going to be a caveat to that. GameStop will be the only retailer to sell the boxed copy of the game, making the physical version an exclusive in both Canada and North America. There's no word on if this will affect European territories, as GameStop is much smaller outside of North America. A reason for the exclusivity was not given, with GameStop/EB only briefly mentioning the fact on the game's store page. This isn't the only exclusive agreement for the game, either, as PC players will only be able to buy the game digitally, on the Epic Games Store.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is slated for a 2019 launch, for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Epic Games Store.

Does anybody know if this re-release will have the Co-Op that the Wii version of the original release had?

the original didn't have it so probably the remaster won't too.

That's all true, but seems like little more than an attempt to distract from what seems to be another motive. Why point out that the game is an EGS exclusive if your true interest was actually about PC games in general? Do you also point out new Steam releases and remind everyone to pirate them, keeping with the format of your post here?

It was crazy that only the Wii got a coop mode at the time and I would love to actually play it with a friend this time.

I did my own research and apparently the coop mode will be back and restored from the ground up. It won't come straight out of the door but it'll be in a future patch. Source somewhere on the interwerbs.

Anyone knows if they will reincorporate the multiplayer?

That would cost extra money. Unless you mean offline multiplayer, that's easy.

I'll pirate any new game that catches my interest, but it is of most importance with EGS releases due to all the datamining, forced exclusives and problems that lies with their platform.

Offline pleases me also. It was pre-death that I discovered the multiplayer on the 360 version back in the days. It was fun from what I remember.

Also a couple years ago when speaking about the issue they instead diverted and talked about another game, shows they don't care about employee's wellbeing, much like other game devs

On the first article, there are quotes that disprove your point. There are devs that actually like working at CDPR.

Looks like that it is still going to be released in Australia and not be exclusive to one store.

Yes, EBGames is Gamestop.
It could be possible that the JBHIFI release gets cancelled and it ends up being an EBGames exclusive.
