Take-Two Interactive is reportedly looking to sell or close its indie label, Private Division. Following the layoff of 5% of its staff in April, a new report indicates that studios behind games like Rollerdrome and Kerbal Space Program 2 are set to shut down. Despite initial dismissals of such claims, it's now evident that these closures are imminent. Additionally, Private Division has already seen significant layoffs and won't receive further support from Take-Two. Ongoing projects like Moon Studios' No Rest for the Wicked and Game Freak's new title still have small teams working on them, but the future of Private Division remains uncertain as it might be sold to a private equity firm.
