So here's a weird little story.

As many of you might remember, Disney Infinity developer, Avalanche Software, was closed recently by Disney, as they decided to outsource video games, instead of develop them internally.

It has been reported today that Avalanche Software has been acquired by Warner, and is reopening as part of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and will be working with Disney on a tie-in video game for the upcoming Cars 3.

I personally find this really funny and weird, they get closed by Disney, and then reopened by Warner to work on a Disney game. Still, glad to see the studio get's to live on.

I'm glad that those in Avalanche Software still have jobs. That's great news for them. :)
