take-two verkauft nach fast 7 jahren wieder ihr eigenen indie sub-publisher private division an einen noch unbekannten käufer.

Take-Two Interactive has confirmed the sale of Private Division for an undisclosed sum, as it drops the indie-focused publishing label to focus on larger projects.

In statements alongside the publisher's latest financial results, the company confirmed another party has acquired not only the Private Division label, but also all of its live and unreleased titles.

Take-Two will continue to support Moon Studios' action RPG No Rest for the Wicked, which launched in Early Access on PC back in April.

"The team of Private Division did a great job supporting independent developers and, almost to a one, every project they supported did well. However, the scale of those projects was, candidly, on the smaller side, and we're in the business of making great big hits."

There was confusion as to whether the aforementioned studios had actually shut down, with Zelnick claiming neither studio had technically been closed, although a WARN notice indicated that Intercept was due to close its doors in July following widespread layoffs at the studio.

A Take-Two spokesperson has now confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that both studios were closed prior to the sale of Private Division.
