In the wake of the impending closure of Lionhead Studios<\/a>, Sony has stepped in to help out affected Lionhead Studios employees find employment.<\/p>\n

According to tweets from the PlayStation Jobs Twitter handle<\/a>, Sony will be running a recruitment event in\u00a0Guildford,\u00a0Surrey, England.<\/p>\n

The event will be happening this coming Monday and the invite extends to everyone from Lionhead Studios.<\/p>\n

Former employees of the studio will have the chance to speak to people from\u00a0SCEE studios and perhaps some new opportunities can be organised for them.<\/p>\n

Many people will almost certainly consider this a PR stunt on the part of Sony as Microsoft is receiving negative feedback within press and gaming circles.<\/p>\n

We’re all for the event if displaced game developers can now find stable employment and can keep on developing games for our enjoyment.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Fable\u00a0<\/em>games have been some very solid titles, and there’s definitely a lot of talent at Lionhead Studios that can now be put to work in other studios.<\/p>\n

We can certainly imagine a few possibilities.<\/p>\n
