Overview edit · view history
Illusion Softworks, a.s. was located in Brno, in the Czech Republic and was founded by Petr Vochozka and the venture capital investors, Cash Reform Group.
A number of employees eventually left the company to found The Easy Company on 19 September 2007.
In January 2008, Illusion Softworks was acquired by Take-Two Interactive Software and subsequently renamed 2K Czech.
2K Czech's last developed game was Top Spin 4, released in 2011. In January 2014, a report originally from Eurogamer Czech suggested 2K Czech's Prague office was closed, and the "development resources" remaining after some layoffs were aggregated into the office in Brno, and 2K Games headquarters in Novato, California. The studio was effectively split to Hangar 13 studios in Prague and Brno by 2017.
