While Take-Two has been primarily invested in large-scale projects like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, the publisher is looking to get into the indie scene, according to company CEO Strauss Zelnick.
"We do have an indie program," Zelnick said in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, noting that while the program doesn't yet have a name, the company has been working on it for "about a year," collaborating with a few independent game studios. Take-Two plans to keep things under wraps for the time being, waiting instead to discuss the program further when there's substantial information to share.
Alan Lewis, the corporate communications chief at Take-Two, also spoke about the company's forthcoming indie program, expressing their "interest in creating a variety of entertainment experiences" and belief that "there's some very talented independent developers" whose work would fit nicely in the Take-Two portfolio.
That said, a structure for the program is not yet in place, so there's more work that needs to be done before Take-Two is ready to speak about it in any definitive capacity.
Other major publishers like Electronic Arts and Ubisoft have already made strides in working with independent developers. In fact, EA announced it's new indie-minded EA Originals program this year at E3, with Zoink Games' upcoming title Fe coming out of the program.
