Take-Two Is Shutting Down Intercept Games (Kerbel Space Program 2) & Roll7 (Rollerdrome, OlliOlli World)

[Gizmo_Duck]

Video game publisher Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. plans to shut down two subsidiaries as part of a mass layoff across its divisions, according to documentation reviewed by Bloomberg.

The first outfit is London-based Roll7, developer of the action game Rollerdrome, according to a note to staff. Take-Two plans to close the studio and will offer severance agreements to its staff.

The other is Seattle-based Intercept Games, maker of the space flight simulation game Kerbal Space Program 2, according to a notice filed with the Washington State Employment Security Department Monday. The notice revealed that Take-Two plans to close an office in Seattle and cut 70 jobs, or roughly the number of people who worked for Intercept Games.

Shameless

Shame.

I heard KSP 2 wasn't as hot as the first one and I mess with Oli Oli World.

Another one to the graveyard

This makes me sad as fukk

Roll7 made great games in Olli World and Rollerdrome. Fun and unique games with tons of style, challenging gameplay, great art direction and music. Closed forever as they focus on being a GTA/2K factory, sucks

And they weren’t even huge teams…

The studio literally just won a BAFTA a couple years back also

Yeah, I remember getting Olli Olli World through PS+, right around the time I first got my PS4 and put a lot of time into it.

Always unfortunate when jobs are lost.

I thought they were all big games?

 

[Barney Rubble]

Damn shame. OlliOlli World is underrated. Very high quality with a lot of depth.

How is Rollerdome?

Controls take some getting used to, same with Olli

Once you get into it, it's a flow-state experience where you're pulling insane combos off and killing hordes of enemies. Think Tony Hawk on rollerskates with guns lol

There's a story with some lore, but you can also completely tune it out too if you want

I loved it personally
