Sony is to hand over the WipEout IP to UK developer Evolution Studios, MCV understands. The series appeared to have come to an end with the closure of fellow Sony studio and series creator Studio Liverpool last month. However, the IP will now live on, a source close to the matter has said, with MotorStorm creators Evolution Studios assuming control of the franchise. It is unclear whether or not this will impact the development of future MotorStorm titles.

Not sure if want.
I don't see what Evolution could do with the IP that would be better than what Liverpool did. They were masters of the genre, but the series just doesn't sell that well. And it would probably end up with Evolution getting shut down if there was another under-performing WipEout.
I thought Evolution had taken on staff from the Project Gotham Racing team anyway. Was more interested in seeing some new racing game ideas from them.
