Activision acquires PGR dev

Posted on Thursday, 27 September 2007 by Speed, source: Fragland

Activision has sent out a press release, announcing that they've acquired Project Gotham Racing developer Bizarre Creations

Under the terms of the acquisition, Bizarre Creations will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision and the company's management team and employees continue with the company as their teams start to develop two new AAA titles alongside their current projects. The 160-person development studio is located in Liverpool, England. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Activision expects that its first game from Bizarre Creations will be released after fiscal year 2009.

It wouldn't surprise me if Activision would drop the exclusivity on the Project Gotham Racing series which would be bad news for Microsoft.

Sony on the other hand probably would love to see PGR getting released on PS3

The rights to PGR are owned by Microsoft, so Bizarre won't be developing the next installations in the serious and ít will certainly stay as an Xbox 360 exclusive. Maybe you meant the spiritual successors to PGR? :-)

"As for what the deal means to Bizarre Creations, a posting on the company's Web site assures its fans that it will be business as usual for the studio--with one big exception. "Our future titles can be on whatever we please--we are a truly multiplatform studio now," the company said, raising the prospect of Project Gotham Racing 5 on the PS3. Bizarre also said that it would soon begin work on two games for Activision, a racing game and a "character game," with its first offering to arrive in 2009."
