IncGamers has word that Blizzard Entertainment has secured the rights to
Redneck Rampage, Xatrix Entertainment's Build-engine hillbilly shooter
released in 1997, and that Blizzard now owns the trademarks for all three titles
in the series, Redneck Rampage, Redneck Rampage Rides Again, and
Redneck Rampage Suckin' Grits on Route 66. Xatrix eventually became Gray
Matter Interactive and was acquired by Activision in 2002 and eventually merged
into Treyarch, but the rights did not belong to Activision Blizzard before now,
as they were sold off to Vivendi in 2004. Blizzard recently
indicated they have a fifth game in development, and while a campy shooter
may not seem to be their sort of project, Incgamers notes that several
developers at Blizzard actually worked on the Redneck Rampage games back in the
day.
