A Take-Two owned company has purchased OlliOlli developer Roll7.

Earlier today on November 15, publisher Private Division announced they'd successfully acquired UK-based developer Roll7. Private Division, if you're unaware, is a publishing arm owned by Take-Two, themselves a publisher of games like Grand Theft Auto 5 from Rockstar Games.

Right now, Roll7 is hard at work developing OlliOlli World, the third game in the hit action-platformer series. Revealed earlier this year, OlliOlli World is shaping up to be something special, and we've showcased it previously in the Future Games Show.

"Private Division has been an incredible publishing partner for OlliOlli World, and we’re elated to continue to grow as a studio as part of the label," said Roll7 CEO Simon Bennett. "Private Division has empowered our amazing team to raise the bar on our creativity and scope for OlliOlli World. Joining the label puts us in a great position to continue to grow and to set our sights on achieving our ambition to become a pre-eminent global videogames developer."
