Overview edit · view history
Intercept Games is a game development studio established by Take-Two Interactive in December 2019. It was set up to take over work on Kerbal Space Program 2 which Take-Two owns, but was in development at Star Theory Games who worked together on the game with Take-Two's publishing label Private Division.
According to Jason Schreier for Bloomberg News, Star Theory Games founders Robert Berry Jr. and Jonathan Mavor were in discussions with Take-Two to sell the company, but could not agree on the terms. In response Take-Two set up Intercept Games, pulled the Kerbal Space Program 2 contract and contacted every Star Theory Games employee to join the new studio with attractive benefits. Eventually about a third of Star Theory (of 30 employees) left for the new studio, including Creative Director Nate Simpson and Studio Head Jeremy Ables.
The remaining staff prepared prototypes to pitch at the March 2020 Game Developers Conference, but the event was closed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Star Theory Games was shut down on 4th March 2020. Following the closure more staff went on to join Take-Two.
The name Intercept Games was revealed on 28th May 2020.
