2K announced it has acquired two studios in Valencia, Spain - Elite3D and Turia Games. 

Elite3D is an artwork studio that has worked on Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. The studio has previously worked with 2K on the PS2 game Motocross Mania 3 and more recently on Mafia 3.

Elite3D will be rebranded to become the second office for 31st Union, a studio led by Michael Condrey working on a new IP.

Turia Games is a smaller company and was co-owned by the founder of Elite3D.

"Elite3D has made a significant impact on our industry by helping many developers and publishers bring their games to life through best-in-class passion and creativity," 2K president David Ismailer said.

"The team's work style and employee culture are also a great complement to our vision and values. We look forward to seeing our new colleagues contribute to the progress made to date by 31st Union and play a key role in the growth and development of global services for our current and future games."

Thanks, GamesIndustry.
