Elite3D is reported to be rebranded as two separate divisions. One will serve as the second office for 31st Union, and the other will be to serve as an outpost of 2K Publishing’s global services division.

Employee culture and the team’s work style are also a great complement to our vision and values. We look forward to seeing our colleagues contribute to the progress 31st Union has made thus far and play a significant role in the growth and development of Global Services for our current and future games.”

Turia Games is co-owned by the founders of Elite3D, so it is not much of a surprise that it has been acquired by 2K Games. Not much is known about Turia Games. Moreover, they have been keeping a low profile. In the meantime, the details of the deals have not been disclosed.
