This is presumably a new, upcoming game, though not knowing anything about it, and watching this teaser trailer, I could swear it was either a 'remaster' of that 2009 game, or something for PS Vita - graphics already look at least 10 years old. Everyone in the YouTube comments is happy and excited. Something wrong with me?
 
Some info I received on the game recently:

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed - Ecto Edition, a 4v1 haunt-or-hunt action-packed video game from the asymmetrical multiplayer experts at IllFonic, will be joining the Switch family this year. Rated 10+, the game will be available in the My Nintendo Store. A physical version of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed - Ecto Edition will be released with our physical partners, Nighthawk Interactive. Fans of Ghostbusters and Nintendo will now have the chance to unite forces or rally against current PC/Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One users as the game will play seamlessly across platforms.
