Sony closes UK's Evolution Studios
Sony has announced the closure of the UK's Evolution Studios. The Cheshire-based video games development house dates back to 1999, and had most recently worked on the troubled PlayStation title Driveclub. Sony has confirmed that there will be at least some compulsory redundancies as a consequence of its decision. The announcement closely follows Microsoft's announcement of plans to close another British developer, Lionhead Studios. Sony said that its decision had followed a review of its European operations.
