Bloomberg report confirms Take-Two as new WWE game-maker

Bloomberg is reporting that Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of 2K and Rockstar Games, has reached an agreement to take on the responsibilities of WWE game development and production going forward.
THQ had been publishing official wrestling titles for over a decade. But once the company started to sell off its assets, the WWE licence required a transfer. Previous rumors suggested that Take-Two would indeed be taking over the reigns of the franchise, though Bloomberg’s article appears to confirm the news.
According to Bloomberg, court documents say that “the WWE and Yuke’s contracts will be terminated and the companies will be allowed to enter into new agreements with Take-Two, which will hire THQ’s employees that work on the wrestling games”.
