Reminder: Bizarre not working on PGR5, working on 'new racing series'

Filed under: Microsoft Xbox 360, Driving, Business

Buried in the Q&A section towards the end of a Bizarre Creations newspost regarding an update to the Cat and Mouse mode in PGR4, the recently acquired third-party developer (Activision nabbed the UK-based devs in September if you'll recall) confirm that they won't be working on Project Gotham Racing 5. Instead, they're hard at work on "a brand new racing series" no doubt full of cars and tracks and all the other thrilling hallmarks of the genre.

We'd seen reports stating the same - that Bizarre's second, more action-oriented dev-team (think The Club) would be working on existing Activision IPs and their accomplished XBLA team (think Boom Boom Rocket) would be continuing with that platform while the PGR team would be working on something new - but confirmation from the developers themselves serves as a nice, short reminder for PGR fans that it's a brave new world for Bizarre.
