2K Games to Publish Ghost Rider Game

Posted on May 15, 2006

MegaGames reports that 2K Games is publishing a Ghost Rider game based on the comic book series and the February 2007 movie starring Nicolas Cage (Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios).

The Ghost Rider feature film follows superstar motorcycle stunt rider Johnny Blaze as he strikes a deal with the vile Mephistopheles for the most precious of commodities -- his immortal soul. Now Johnny Blaze is forever destined to ride night after night as the host to the powerful supernatural entity known as the Ghost Rider. The video game continues the storyline, dropping players into the role of Blaze as he is transformed into a super hero with powers to avenge any evil he encounters. Featuring many of the characters and motorcycles from the comic book and movie, Ghost Rider will engage gamers in an immersive, supernatural third person world with a seamless blend of hand-to-hand combat and high-speed motorcycle action.

A GameSpot says 2K Games acquired the rights to publish Ghost Rider from Majesco. So far the 2K Games website has no information about the game. An earlier story we ran back in July, 2005 when Majesco was working on the game talked about being able to ride Johnny Blaze's supernatural Hell Cycle in the game. The website for the upcoming game has not changed since last year.
