Propaganda Games was a video game development studio based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada which operated from 2005 to 2011 as a unit of Disney Interactive Studios, the interactive subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company.

History

Buena Vista Games formed the studio with former employees of EA Canada in April 2005[1] They acquired the Turok license in May 2005.,[2] which was released for next generation consoles in 2008. A sequel, Turok 2, was in development soon after but was cancelled due to layoffs.

Once work was completed on Tron: Evolution and the proposed Pirates of the Caribbean title was cancelled, Disney closed the studio in January 2011.[3]
