An anonymous staff member over at Bizarre Creations has said several companies are showing interest in purchasing the developer from Activision, since it was revealed the firm had put the developer on a 90-day notice.

Speaking with Develop, the staffer told the site studio management held a second meeting with staff, and said all may not be so glum as previously thought.

"That meeting really lifted the mood here, I think, because we've been told that there's multiple parties interested in buying us," said the source. "We are still on consultation for ninety days, but things look much better than they did last night or this morning. Things here are changing at such a quick pace."

The source didn't name interested parties, because - "he doesn't want to take risks by naming companies that seem eager to step in and save the studio", said Develop, but a separate conversation revealed Microsoft "showing an interest".

"Microsoft aren't stupid," he said, "they know we're talented and have spoken to Activision about us."

Hopefully there’s a happy ending for the 200 or so employees soon.
