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.
