Vicarious Visions Head into Bat Country

Some of the talented staff who unfortunately lost their jobs at Vicarious Visions thanks to rounds of layoffs by flailing Activision, have banded together and formed a new firm. Bat Country Entertainment has launched its first project, an Xbox LIVE Indie game, AardbloxX.

Bat Country has Mike Chrzanowski at the helm as CEO. There were apparently two rounds of layoffs, a private one and a public one that saw the majority of staff losing positions. Since Guitar Hero has now been mothballed it seems that Activision no longer needs their talents.

Luckily, gamers will still benefit with new projects from Bat Country.
