2K, which belongs to Take-Two, wants to expand with an interesting approach.

David Ismailer, the president of 2K, told GamesIndustry a few ideas about the company’s future in his interview. It makes sense – we haven’t heard much from them in recent years. „We’re looking to expand and grow our portfolio, whether it’s internally developing more products, or it’s adding more long-term partnerships to our 2K product line. We’re looking for quality products to deliver to consumers with a long engagement. We have more ideas than we have resources to execute on. So I’d grow my portfolio a lot faster if I increased my capacity and added significantly more on the development resource side,” Ismailer said.

What does this comment mean? Simple: Games-as-a-Service – examples: Final Fantasy XV, Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII, Battlefield V, or maybe Gran Turismo Sport with its monthly updates. Ismailer also pointed out that he wants to acquire another IP for Firaxis Games, who have been working on XCOM and Civilization in the past years: „We did Civ, then we did XCOM, and now we’re looking hopefully to add one more to that portfolio.” They are working on an unannounced game. Hmm…

We wonder what they want to add to Firaxis’ line-up? We’re probably going to find it out shortly, but we’re sure it’s going to stick to the GaaS model…
