Los Angeles -- Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that it has acquired Monolith Productions, the video game developer currently at work on "The Matrix Online," based on the Warner film trilogy. Financial terms of the transaction, which is expected to close in October, were not disclosed. Warner had already purchased a 20% stake in Kirkland, Wash.-based Monolith last year, in a deal that included the option to purchase the company outright. Monolith has also developed "TRON 2.0" and "Aliens Vs. Predator 2," and is currently at work on "F.E.A.R." for Vivendi Universal Games.
