History
Buena Vista Games formed the new studio with former employees of EA Canada in April 2005.[1] They acquired the Turok license in May 2005,[2] which was released for next generation consoles in 2008. A sequel, Turok 2, was in development soon after but was cancelled due to layoffs.
Once work was completed on Tron: Evolution and the proposed Pirates of the Caribbean title was cancelled,[3] Disney closed the studio in January 2011.[4]
