I don't think game development will suffer due to brexit in fact it would make development cheaper thanks to hte dropping value of the pound. We might see a resurgence in UK development once we actually leave the EU.

It seems like one of those Studios that can't create great IP themselves but have highly skilled individuals to get the job done so to speak. Sony should have probably given them something from their IP portfolio to make an updated ps4 version.

Maybe its an accountant thing where someone at Sony has said decrease development costs by 10% and so they have looked for the easiest studios to close. The UK is more flexible and easier to make people redundant than the European mainland where shutting down costs would be higher and met with more resistance.

Maybe if they get to keep the development kits they could knock out some indie Sony VR titles.

RIP MediEvil.

Not a big lose. It's not like they are making a AAA game or anything. So we lost nothing. If they were doing something like Scalebound, then maybe it would be linchmob time. 😐

I don't know about Bend they never were that big to begin with.

Yup it all comes down if those Games fail HZD,New IP from Punch worrying indeed.

Sucker Punch games have always made profit and reviewed pretty well so I dont see SOny closing them. Guerrilla Games will no way be closed, Horizon looks to be going to do pretty well + Kojima just made his studio near Guerrilla and use their engine.

I think Media Molecul is still safe, but Sony Bend is the biggest question mark. Days Gone looks pretty good but it doesnt look multi million selling title to me.

I wish best for Guerrilla Cambridge people and hope some of them get work Guerrilla games and others find jobs in other studios

I still think Media Molecule is on the chopping block once dreams comes out. UK studio that hasn't released anything in a while, currently working on a game that (IMO) doesn't look like a commercial hit

Very sad news, they were definitely one of the most iconic Playstation developers.
Really hoped to see MediEvil 3 one day.

Isn't VR the new hotness though? They should be pumping VR games out of the anus, not shutting down devs that make VR games. 😕

That's very bad news. They made good games and I was hoping we would see more from them...I hope everyone lands on their feet.

I was wondering about that. Seems supporting a Studio in the UK may just bee to expensive even if they produce quality games.

I remember reading articles about possible tax breaks for developers that were cancelled.
