Rockstar Games has announced they’re set to acquire Australian developer Video Games Deluxe after years of collaboration.
After the developer is acquired by Rockstar, they’ll be renamed to Rockstar Australia, though a date for the deal’s closing wasn’t confirmed.
Video Games Deluxe was originally founded back in 2013 as a successor to Team Bondi, the original development team behind Rockstar’s L.A. Noire. Since then, the team has released L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files and most recently on upgrades to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.
“After working together closely over many years, we are excited to have Video Games Deluxe join the team as Rockstar Australia,” said Rockstar Games Head of Publishing, Jennifer Kolbe.
“It’s been an honor to work closely with Rockstar Games this past decade,” said Video Games Deluxe founder Brendan McNamara. “We are thrilled to be a part of Rockstar Games and to continue our efforts to make the best games possible.”
