Evolution Studios closed by Sony

Sony has confirmed the closure of Evolution Studios.

"Regular reviews take place throughout SCE Worldwide Studios, ensuring that the resources that we have in such a competitive landscape can create and produce high quality, innovative and commercially viable projects. As part of this process we have reviewed and assessed all current projects and plans for the short and medium term and have decided to make some changes to the European studios structure. As a result, it has been decided that Evolution Studio will close," the company said in a statement.

"We accept that this decision will mean that we risk losing high calibre staff but by focusing on other Studios that already have exciting new projects in development we believe we will be in a stronger position going forward and able to offer the best possible content of the highest quality for our consumers. Where possible we will try to reallocate people onto other projects."

Evolution has been a part of SCE Worldwide Studios for over 10 years, and worked on a number of franchises for PlayStation platforms such as WRC, Motorstorm, and Driveclub.
