1. Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of 2K Games and Private Division, is shutting down the studios behind the games Rollerdrome and Kerbal Space Program 2. This decision comes as part of a broader restructuring effort, with Take-Two citing the need to "align its organization with its strategic priorities" as the primary reason for the closures.
2. The affected studios are Roll7, the developer of the critically acclaimed Rollerdrome, and Star Theory Games, the studio behind the highly anticipated Kerbal Space Program 2. Both games will continue to be supported, but their future development will be handled by other Take-Two studios or external partners.
3. The closures are expected to result in the loss of approximately 150 jobs across the two studios. Take-Two has stated that it will provide affected employees with severance packages and assistance in finding new employment opportunities. The decision has been met with disappointment and concern from the gaming community, as both Rollerdrome and Kerbal Space Program 2 were viewed as promising and innovative titles.
