After reports earlier today that NetDevil's staff had been significantly reduced, Gazillion Entertainment announced that it had sold its rights to LEGO Universe to the LEGO Group. In addition, a majority of the development team for LEGO Universe at NetDevil have been offered employment through the LEGO Group.

Gazillion Entertainment's President and COO, David Brevik, commented:

We're proud of the game our team built, and are certain that it has a bright future. The transition of members of our team to the LEGO Group enables us to focus completely on internally-published, free-to-play game businesses.

NetDevil entered its contract to build LEGO Universe in 2006, and was purchased by Gazillion Entertainment in 2008. Other NetDevil projects will be moved "to a new location."
