Unfortunately, there is sad news in the gaming world. Take-Two Interactive, a major publisher, is closing down two beloved studios: Roll7 and Intercept Games, the team behind Kerbal Space Program 2. This decision was revealed through documents obtained by Bloomberg.
Roll7, headquartered in London, was established in 2008 by friends Tom Hegarty and Simon Bennett. Known for creating games like OlliOlli, OlliOlli World, and Rollerdrome, Roll7 has gained a reputation for its innovative wheel-based mechanics. OlliOlli, a hit on the PS Vita in 2014, and its sequel, OlliOlli World, released in early 2022, have captivated players with their engaging gameplay and charming art style. Rollerdrome, a standout title from 2022, offers a unique blend of third-person rollerskating and gunplay set in a retro-futuristic world reminiscent of the 1970s.
With accolades from BAFTA and DICE, Roll7 has been recognized for its excellence in game development. The studio’s expertise in crafting seamless action experiences is evident in their portfolio.
Take-Two’s acquisition of Roll7 took place in November…
