Visual Concepts

Visual Concepts 是总部位于加利福尼亚并以研发Take-Two Interactive旗下2K系列体育游戏而知名的电子游戏研发工作室。在取得一系列游戏开发的巨大成功后，Visual Concepts被SEGA收购，并成为旗下全资 开发工作室。在2005年1月，Visual Concepts连同其完全所有的子公司Kush Games一并被Take-Two Interactive收购。伴随着对Visual Concepts的收购，Take-Two同时创立了一个全新的发行品牌2K Games（为了避免与发行《侠盗猎车手》系列的Rockstar Games搞混）^[1]。 尽管最开始也研发诸如《驚異之旅》等冒险解谜类游戏，但目前主要致力于研发篮球，棒球等体育类游戏。

在2013年， Visual Concepts 在中国上海成立Visual Concepts China 中国开发工作室。Visual Concepts China 工作室目前主要致力于NBA2K Online以及NBA2K Mobile等系列产品的研发。
