Codemasters have acquired Driveclub developers, Evolution studios.<\/p>\n
Sony had announced<\/a> in March that it would be shutting down Evolution Studios, leading to fears of mass retrenchment as the studio’s future hang in the balance.<\/p>\n In addition, Sony’s Mick Mocking, who spearheaded Playstation’s 3D gaming division and acted as a liaison between Evolution and Sony, will also be making the jump to Codemasters.<\/p>\n “We want the team to remain to remain the team that they are,” Codemasters CEO Frank Sagnier told GamesIndustry.biz<\/a>. “We want to benefit from everything that they’ve learned as a team together, we want them to create their own games.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of course there will be synergies, of course we will share stuff, but we would like to make sure they retain their identity and stay together as a team to do what they’re good at.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What we don’t want to do is bring in a team of 50 people and start having some work on one game and some on another, on existing IP. The whole point is to keep their DNA and build a new game.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Sony will retain the rights to both the Driveclub and Motorstorm brands, but this will mark the first time Evolution Studios could develop on non-Sony platforms.<\/p>\n Fallout 4 wins Best Game at BAFTA Games Awards<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n DOAK \u2013 South Africa\u2019s first MMORPG that pays you to play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nMore gaming news
