Long time UK developer - and the team behind Project Gotham, Geometry Wars, Blur and the recent James Bond Bloodstone - has apparently been closed by its parent Activision/Blizzard.Despite the fact that neither Activision UK nor Bizarre Creations itself are currently available for comment, numerous other sources have indicated that the Liverpool-based developer is closed for business shortly after bringing
James Bond: Bloodstone to market.
The lack of public appreciation for its
Blur racing title combined with the apparently short amount of time available to the studio to produce Bloodstone, with no Bond movie to support it, are indicators that trouble was afoot for the developer.
We, like everybody else, awaits official word. In the meantime, we wish everybody at Bizarre the very best of luck.
