Sony to close UK studio, Guerrila Cambridge

Sony is closing the Cambridge branch of Guerrilla Games, all employees will be laid off. Sony has confirmed the impending shutdown to us, saying that the compulsory redundancies are “regrettable”. The decision to close the studio comes from a review of all current PlayStation projects and resources, with the platform holder concluding: “It is necessary to make some changes to the European studios structure… in order to deliver on our strategic objectives”.
Guerrilla Games Amsterdam, developer of the Killzone and Horizon: Zero Dawn series will not be affected.
“Whilst we accept that this decision will mean that we risk losing high calibre staff, by focusing on other Studios with exciting new projects in development, (including continued work on PlayStation VR), we believe we will be in a stronger position going forward and able to offer the best possible content of the highest quality to our players.
“This decision should not take anything away from the incredible games and services that Guerrilla Cambridge has delivered.”
The better part of this news is that no other studios have been affected.
