Visual Concepts

Visual Concepts 是一家总部位于加利福尼亚的电子游戏研发工作室，以研发Take-Two Interactive旗下2K系列体育游戏而知名。最初创办于1988年，在1999年被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。Take-Two同时为此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《惊异之旅》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。

2013年， Visual Concepts 在中国上海设立开发工作室，名为Visual Concepts中国。该工作室目前主要致力于NBA2K Online以及NBA2K Mobile等系列产品的研发。
