Activision announced during yesterday’s Q2 financial reveal that Blur will land in stores come November.

“In November we’ll release our new racing game Blur from Bizarre Creations,” said Mike Griffith. “Blur had a strong showing at E3 as well, including the nomination for best racing game.

“We’re excited to be entering this genre and we think the game itself sets us apart from the competition and will establish a new franchise for the company.”

Also revealed yesterday, were some of the preorder bonuses through retailers for the game which you can look over here.

These same retail stores have BLur down for a November 3 release.

Activision was quick to talk about its line-up of music-centic games coming this year during its call to investors, and there are loads of ‘em as you would expect.

Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero, and DJ Hero are all expected before the end of the year and now you can add the elusive Guitar Hero: Van Halen to the mix.

Expected to launch on December 22, the title will feature 19 other bands besides Van Halen, as we’ve told you before, and has 25 VH tracks on the disc with three guitar solos for a total of around 47 songs.

It is to be made available for PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.
