Disney has now reopened Avalanche Software as a Warner Bros-owned developer and getting its hand on "Cars 3" game after shutting down its Disney Infinity series and closed its developer in 2015. Both Disney and Warner Bros announced yesterday that the studio is back.

Disney has shifted many of its development to its partners in the past years and closed several internal studios while Warner Bros remains consistent with its strategies building a billion-dollar gaming business with its own studios. The new version of Avalanche Software has reopened in Salt Lake City and will be led by the former Disney Avalanche John Blackburn, according to GameSpot.

Warner Bros acquires the rights to Avalanche's Octane game engine that will be used to make the "Cars 3" game, which is based on the forthcoming Disney Pixar film that will debut this summer. Disney consumer products vice president Kyle Laughlin said in a statement that they are thrilled to work with the Avalanche team once again who has a huge understanding of the Disney Pixar DNA with an experience of translating Disney stories into gaming.

There are no other details announced on the "Cars 3" game yet but Laughlin said that it is coming to gaming consoles and is likely arriving in June when Pixar's film "Cars 3" premieres in June although it's not confirmed. "The Avalanche talent and technology are a great addition to our group of outstanding developers," president of Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment David Haddad said in a statement.

Reports say that the Disney Pixar Cars franchise generated over $1 billion in box office worldwide with a strong track record with family gamers selling millions of units throughout multiple Cars titles, which includes "Cars 2: The Video Game" that sold million copies in 2011 developed by Avalanche Software. "Cars 3" is the newest kids and family gaming collaboration between Disney and Warner Bros that have also produced Lego titles in the past.
