ā€œWe did our homework and saw a huge opportunity to move beyond traditional racers and create a game completely focused on making racing ā€˜fun’ again,ā€ said Martyn Chudley, Creative Director, Bizarre Creations. ā€œBlur delivers a new style of racing experience for all gamers, regardless of their experience, skill or genre preferences. Everything the player does, both in their cars and with their cars, is a dramatic adrenaline rush; it’s a real blast!ā€

Blur will feature 20 cars, offline or online, on a track and offensive and defensive attacks set in real-world locations ranging from L.A. and San Francisco to Hackney, UK and Barcelona, Spain. The game also supports four-player split-screen play.

ā€œWe know that racing can be fun for everyone, and we are excited to enter this genre with a game that keeps players in the pack and combines fun with intense racing battles,ā€ said Maria Stipp, EVP and GM of Owned Properties, Activision Publishing. ā€œBizarre Creations is one of the most creative studios in the industry with a rich heritage of top-rated racing games and we are excited to partner with them on Blur, which is set to break the mold of traditional racing games.ā€

The game will be presented through ā€œBizarre’s innovative new community-based interfaceā€, according to the press release.

This unique story-driving social network evolves dynamically as players compete in different races, make new friends, rivals and fans, and connect with other racers both in-game and in real life.

Custom Groups will let anyone create multiplayer modes with custom settings. These new modes are then shared through Blur’s ā€œsocial networkā€ so others can try the modes as well.

Blur is set for a fall release on the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
