Been on the cards for a while, since the merger with Evolution and the lay offs a couple of years ago.

But they did announce that they were working on a new AAA PS3/Vita game quite recently.

Sad news for the guys that work there.

Meanwhile studios that havent produced a game in 5 7 years carry on regardless. 


What merger?

Jan 2009:

Evolution and Sony Liverpool studios merging, combining resources

15 

From the "Did you know?" department comes an interesting tidbit regarding Sony's internal development studios -- specifically, the two behind last year's Wipeout HD (Liverpool Studio) and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (Evolution Studios). According to veep of Worldwide Studios Europe, Michael Denny, it is Sony's intention to fully merge the teams, which already share a management structure and resources, in a single geographic location.

"Each studio has its own internal concepting group which will always be looking at new opportunities and new IPs," Denny told GI.biz, "and we'll continue to extend and innovate within our existing franchises as well." The move won't happen "overnight," but the synergy that would result is sure to be beneficial to off- and hovering-slightly-above-road racing fans. We only hope that the two studios don't fall into the same trap Team Joystiq does whenever united under one roof: hours upon hours wasted looking at funny cat videos.

 

 

 

 

 


I read on Gaf that they don't share the same building, not even the same city, I dont think they merged.
