2K Australia To Close

Developer 2K Australia, the team behind Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! are to close, publisher 2K have confirmed. The news comes from a statement from 2K confirming the closure of the studio. This is what they had to say about the closure:

We can confirm we have taken steps to begin the studio closure process for 2K Australia in order to better manage ongoing development costs while improving the working proximity of our creative teams,

We are very grateful for the team's valuable contributions to numerous 2K projects, and are working with affected staff to explore reassignment opportunities where possible.

The mention of reassignment opportunities brings a bit of good news to the announcement and here's hoping that many of the workers find themselves with stable employment.
