History

Buena Vista Games formed the new studio with former employees of EA Canada in April 2005. [2] They acquired the Turok license in May 2005, [3] which was released in 2008 for the current generation consoles at the time. A sequel, Turok 2, was in development soon after but was canceled due to layoffs.

Once work was completed on Tron: Evolution and the proposed Pirates of the Caribbean title was cancelled, [4] Disney closed the studio in January 2011. [5]
