Take-Two has officially sold indie publisher Private Division following the closure of its studios Roll7 and Intercept Games. The unknown buyer will acquire most of Private Division's live and unreleased games while Take-Two continues to support Moon Studios' recently launched action RPG, No Rest for the Wicked, which is currently in early access. This strategic shift comes as Take-Two aims to concentrate more on its core and mobile business, with expectations also high for Grand Theft Auto VI set to launch in fall 2025.
nWhat are the implications of Take-Two's sale of Private Division?
The sale suggests a significant strategic realignment for Take-Two, focusing on its key franchises and mobile opportunities while allowing Private Division to operate independently, potentially leading to new creative directions and projects, such as the upcoming Project Bloom from Game Freak.
Private Division was established in 2017 to fund and support worthy indie projects, gaining attention for successful releases like The Outer Worlds. With upcoming titles like the delayed Tales of the Shire, continuing its portfolio, the publisher is set to explore new ventures and partnerships under its new ownership.
