While still poised to work on a new racing franchise, recently-acquired developer Bizarre Creations has a second, action-oriented team that will "probably be working on a property that [new parent company] Activision already owns," according to executive vice president of publishing Robin Kaminsky (via Develop).
As noted by Develop, major Activision properties include Call of Duty (staying firmly with Infinity Ward, we'd presume), Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero and a multitude of license titles. Could Bizarre be assigned a James Bond game? The Club, Bizzare's arcade shooter, is scheduled for early 2008.

Maybe they'll bring back Fur Fighters.
Acclaim is very dead now, so I wonder who owns the IP.

My guess would be COD5... didn't Infinity Ward do COD2 & 4 with someone else doing 3?

They should totally revive the Interstate '76. Maybe remake '82 and make it good.

A new James Bond game is already in development at Treyarch. It is on the company homepage, but other than that no information has been made public.

Now that I think about it Activision really doesn't have a lot of franchises. There's CoD, Tony Hawk, Gun, Guitar Hero, Marvel license, id games and Bond. I'm probably missing a bunch but still, how the hell did they get so big with such a limited portfolio?

They only have parts of the Marvel license too.
Apparently EA has the fighting game part.
Yeah, I don't get it either.

Gun, Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero - Neversoft
James Bond, Call of Duty, Spider-Man - Treyarch
So that leaves Madagascar 2: The Crate Escape, Monsters vs. Aliens, Transformers, and the most likely of all, Pimp My Ride.
