Sony Will Be Holding A Recruitment Event For Lionhead Developers on Monday

Microsoft may not have found them useful enough to keep them around, but Sony clearly thinks that there is enough talent to be found at Lionhead that could be useful in future game development- Sony Europe will be holding a recruitment event at Guildford this Monday specifically to try and get ex-Lionhead developers and employees on board.

“We’re having a Recruitment Event in Guildford for everyone at Lionhead Studios on Monday, please come along for a drink and a chat. There’ll be people there from all our SCEE studios and if you’d like to a book a time for a chat on the day, please DM for details,” Sony’s PlayStation Jobs Twitter account tweeted.

Won't be able to do that. Black And White is Licensed to Lionhead Studios and Microsoft, so unless MS sells Sony the rights to create the game, unfortunately Black And White will remain dead.

Surely they could make a new god game thats similar with a different name ? A "spiritual successor" as they call it.



Edit: Maybe I'm reaching here, my dream of a black and white 3 is blinding the realism part of my brain.

Hope springs eternal. I loved B&W as well, and would love another one in the series, but yeah many games I've loved during the years have been lost due to licensing hell they find themselves in. It would be a shame if B&W also goes that route.

But good on Sony for giving the Lionhead people a chance to get a job. It sucks to be retrenched.

All I kept hearing in my head when reading this was the song "Hope Springs Eternal" by Pyramaze.
