Max Payne 3 studio dissolved.
Mike Holmes 10 July 2012

Take-Two has confirmed that they're closing down Max Payne 3 studio, Rockstar Vancouver.

Despite Max Payne 3's positive reception and outstanding sales figures, it appears to be the studio's last game. Take-Two are absorbing the Vancouver team into their Toronto-based operation.

The new-look Toronto team is also growing, and on top of taking in the 35 strong team from Vancouver, 50 new positions are being made at the expanded facility in Oakville, Ontario.

Rockstar's Jennifer Kolbe said: "Expanding Rockstar Toronto and bringing our Canadian development talent together under one roof underscores our commitment to building world-class teams that can make the kind of groundbreaking entertainment experiences Rockstar Games is known for. We believe a single Canadian team will make for a powerful creative force on future projects. "
