Private Division opens new Kerbal Space Program 2 studio in Seattle

Take-Two Interactive Software’s indie-publishing label Private Division is opening a new studio in the Seattle area. The company plans for this team to work exclusively on rocket-launching simulator Kerbal Space Program 2.

Private Division announced the Kerbal sequel at the Gamescom fan event in August. At that time, studio Star Theory was in charge of development. But now the publisher is spinning up a Kerbal-dedicated group. Studio head Jeremy Ables, creative director Nate Simpson, and lead producer Nate Robinson are moving from Star Theory to the new team.
