Bloomberg reports that Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two Interactive will close two game studios as part of a recently announced plan to lay off 5% of its workforce.
The two studios are London-based Roll7, developer of the much-loved OlliOlli skating games, and Intercept Games, a Seattle outfit formed by Take-Two to make Kerbal Space Program 2.
Both studios were part of Take-Two's boutique publisher Private Division. It appears that Private Division, probably best known for publishing Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds, will be hit hard in the Take-Two layoffs. GamesIndustry.biz reports that the "vast majority" of Private Division staff in Seattle, New York, Las Vegas and Munich have been laid off.
