2K, a label of hardcore game publisher Take-Two Interactive, is announcing today it is creating a new game studio, Hangar 13, which will be led by veteran Star Wars game developer Haden Blackman.

Blackman told GamesBeat that the studio will work on a game for current-generation consoles and PCs. It will be based at the 2K location in Novato, Calif., north of San Francisco, where there are lots of game developers who once worked for George Lucas’ LucasArts game studio, which was acquired by Disney as part of its $4 billion purchase of Lucasfilm. Disney shut down LucasArts in April 2013.
