Activision today announced their acquisition of UK-based game developers Bizarre Creations, the developer of Microsoft’s hugely popular Project Gotham Racing series, for an undisclosed sum.

Bizarre Creations team of 160 people will start work on two new AAA titles (not surprisingly including one racing game) while they finish their current projects - Project Gotham Racing 4 for Microsoft, The Club for SEGA and Geometry Wars: Galaxies for Sierra.

Activision expects to publish their first Bizarre title after fiscal 2009.
