Take-Two Interactive, the company behind GTA developer Rockstar Games - is reportedly set to shut down both Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games and Roll7 - the studio behind Rollerdrome and OlliOlli World.

According to a report from Bloomberg, these shutterings are part of mass layoffs at the company, with plans for Take-Two to cut just over 500 jobs and cancel some in-development projects by the end of 2024 having been revealed via an SEC filing last month.

According to a note to staff at Roll7, those affected there will be offerend severance agreements.
