Allows Bizarre Creations to enhance the game's multiplayer gameplay.

Activision has announced that Blur, the first game from Project Gotham Racing developer Bizarre Creations for new owner Activision, will now be released in 2010. The game had previously been scheduled for release in November on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

"The additional time will allow the studio to fully optimize the vision they set out to create for Blur including a distinctive and groundbreaking multiplayer mode that will appeal to a broad audience."
