Deffinetly prefer them making new studios for VR rather than making their current studios make VR games.

Looks like they are in it for the long haul with VR, forming a studio now will of course not yield results for a couple more years.

North West? Aren't those the guys who did the London Heist demo?

Maybe a porn game?

*The news the day after release*

"Sony are thinking about buying Google, Microsoft, Apple and Amazon"

They should just make one of their established studios like QD or MM to make a game instead of just hiring people only to fire them when they are done like they did with Superbot, bigbig, and Lightbox.

"Sony stock trading at $600 a share today..."

Best. Plan. Ever!

For as long as PlayStation consoles have existed, Sony have had studios in the North West of England. For such a long time it was Psygnosis (aka Studio Liverpool), but they added to that with Evolution Studios in recent years (Runcorn).

When they shut Studio Liverpool, that still didn't mean that their base of operations was gone in the area - they still had XDev who work with outside companies to bring their games to PS Platforms (e.g. working with Tequila Works on Rime).  XDev seemingly used to be a part of Studio Liverpool but was spun-off into its own thing at some point.

I don't see how this is a new studio. It looks like just a job listing for one of those already-existing North West studios, most likely XDev.
