Private Division is a publishing wing of Take-Two Interactive that partners with independent studios. Today, Take-Two revealed three new games that have been signed for publishing via a press release. Moon Studios, Roll7 and League of Geeks are the three developers that have been signed.

Moon Studios is known for developing Ori and the Blind Forest, as well as its sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Moon also confirmed that its next game will be an action-RPG. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is critically-acclaimed and has garnered over 2 million players so far.

"Developing the Ori series over the last decade has been a fantastic experience for our team, and we're thrilled to now be aiming our sights even higher with a new action RPG," said Thomas Mahler and Gennadiy Korol, co-founders of Moon Studios. "We attribute our success to the 'iterative polish' process we use at Moon Studios, and we're continuing that style of development to create a new game that rises above anything we've created thus far."

Prior games published by Private Division include Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds, as well as Disintegration and Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.

There's no release window or other details for any of these games. The first of these three games is expected to launch in Take-Two's fiscal year 2022. Given how far out the games are, they will probably be next-generation titles released on the Xbox Series X and PS5.
