Take-Two Interactive Has Acquired Kerbal Space Program

Take-Two Interactive have supposedly been interested in Kerbal Space Program for quite some time, and now, they own it. Take-Two has purchased the IP for Kerbal Space Program from its Mexican developer, Squad. Kerbal Space Program has sold two million copies in its two-year lifetime in Steam early access, eventually launching in 2015 for PC, Xbox One and PS4 so it's not surprising that Take-Two would want to purchase it.

"The team at Take-Two are big fans of KSP, who have been persistently knocking on our door trying to work with us for a long time," Squad said. "They share your passion for the game and we're really eager to see what Squad and Take-Two can do together for Kerbal Space Program moving forward."

It's unknown how much Take-Two paid for the IP of Kerbal Space Program, but they did make it clear that they would still be working with the members of Squad for the foreseeable future, including the development of the Making History Expansion, expected to launch later this year, along with their promise of free DLC for those who purchased the game before the end of April 2013.
