Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved

Level Up has just confirmed with an Activision representative that Bizarre Creations does in fact own the intellectual property rights to the Geometry Wars series of games. "Bizarre owns Geometry Wars, so that's the property that comes with the deal," the rep told us. This means that whille Sierra will continue to publish Geometry Wars: Galaxies this fall, as previously agreed to, any subsequent Geometry Wars games will be owned and published by Activision as part of its acquisition of Bizarre Creations, which was announced earlier today. As for the other franchises that Bizarre has been working on in recent years—Project Gotham Racing (for Microsoft), The Club (for Sega) and Boom Boom Rocket (for Electronic Arts)—Level Up has separately confirmed that the rights to those games are not held by Bizarre, but rather by their respective publishers.
