History
Buena Vista Games formed the new studio with former employees of EA Canada in April 2005.[2] They acquired the Turok license in May 2005,[3] which was released in 2008 for the current generation consoles at the time. A sequel, Turok 2, was in development soon after but was canceled due to layoffs.
Once work was completed on Tron: Evolution and the proposed Pirates of the Caribbean title was cancelled,[4] Disney closed the studio in January 2011.[5]
