GTA 5 publisher buys Left 4 Dead studio Turtle Rock & next gen IP "Evolve"

4.7
Take-Two Interactive has agreed to buy Turtle Rock Studios, developer of the original Left 4 Dead, and its new IP "Evolve" as part of THQ's recent IP auction.

Evolve is described as an "AAA shooter" for "current and next generation platforms" on THQ project manager Jonathan Bloch's LinkedIn resume.

Artworks found online reveal a science fiction setting featuring starships, giant insects and squad commands. The game may run on Crytek's CryEngine 3.

Take-Two is set to pay $10.8 million for Turtle Rock, easily taking over the $250,000 back-up bid offered by the studio itself.

It will be interesting to see what goes on next regarding a possible third L4D instalment, as well as other new games.

I don't want this in Grand Theft Auto...
It's like everybody, including Call of Duty, is going after the Halo stuff...
GTA is supposed to be all about gangsters and stuff like GTA: SA
