Deja vu?
Rockstar Australia is the new name of Video Games Deluxe, a studio formed by the head of LA Noire‘s Team Bondi.
“Rockstar Games is proud to announce the acquisition of Video Games Deluxe, the Sydney-based development studio,” Rockstar said in a press release. “The studio will be renamed Rockstar Australia. Video Games Deluxe has worked with Rockstar Games on some of its most memorable titles, including the 2017 re-releases of L.A. Noire, L.A. Noire The VR Case Files, and most recently, on upgrades to Grand Theft Auto The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition for iOS and Android, Netflix, and modern consoles.”
“It’s been an honor to work closely with Rockstar Games this past decade,” said Rockstar Australia founder Brendan McNamara. “We are thrilled to be a part of Rockstar Games and to continue our efforts to make the best games possible.”
Video Games Deluxe was founded in 2013 by McNamara following Team Bondi’s closure in 2011.
It’s unclear what Rockstar Australia will be working on… but it’s a good bet that the studio will be assisting with Grand Theft Auto 6.
