US publisher Take Two today acquired Angel Studios for "an aggregate $28 million in cash and 235,679 shares of restricted Common Stock". Apparently, the new division will be renamed San Diego from this day forth. Angel Studios are currently working on Midnight Club 2 for Take 2.

Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games, gushed, "Angel has been a valued partner to Rockstar over the past three years, and we are particularly excited about our latest collaboration, Midnight Club II. Angel Studios has a strong history of developing state of the art technology and exciting content. We look forward to the benefits of having Angel work exclusively for us going forward and having them as members of our talented team. Along with Rockstar North, Rockstar Toronto and Rockstar Vancouver, Rockstar San Diego will continue to develop the types of games for which Rockstar has become world-renowned."

The bid for world domination appears to be continuing at Rockstar.
