Take-Two Interactive, the company behind GTA developer Rockstar Games – is reportedly set to shut down both Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games and Roll7 – the studio behind Rollerdrome and OlliOlli World.
According to a report from Bloomberg, these shutterings are part of mass layoffs at the company, with plans for Take-Two to cut just over 500 jobs and cancel some in-development projects by the end of 2024 having been revealed via an SEC filing last month. This news also comes after Take-Two recently acquired Borderlands developer Gearbox Software for $460 million.
Both Intercept and Roll7 – based in Seattle and London respectively – were part of Private Division, Take-Two’s indie publishing label, which has produced some pretty cool stuff since its creation, as indie publishing labels often do. According to a note to staff at Roll7, those affected there will be offerend severance agreements.
