Take Two Takes Hit as 2K Games NY Closes

Grand Theft Auto publisher Take Two Interactive is losing employees as they close the 2K Games office in NY and shift their staff from west to east coast. According to 1Up.com, everybody was offered the option to stay but not all will be making the move.

Sound familiar? That’s because Sony Computer Entertainment America is also losing staff due to moves. However, unlike SCEA, Take Two is taking a hit on their creative staff. So far Take Two has refused to reveal how many losses they’ve taken but several projects have already been scrapped. So far La Noire and Beaterator are still on target for release in 2008. Take Two promises “the projects written off were early works in progress, not major titles.”
