Bizarre crafting new Bond game?

UK dev could be aiding 007's latest

Could UK studio Bizarre Creations be working on the new James Bond game? That's certainly the suggestion emerging from EGM magazine via 1UP.com, the new report adding that the next game will include a strong driving element, hence the involvement of racing specialists Bizarre - acquired by Activision earlier this year.

Activision, who are in the process of merging with Blizzard and Vivendi right now, revealed in October that one of its two UK teams is working on an action title based on an IP already in the publisher's possession; adding further weight to this rumour.

A second Bizarre team is said to be hard at work on a new top-notch racer, the studio having cut their teeth on the Project Gotham Racing series for Microsoft.

More on this idle gossip as we get it.
