Earlier this year, Sony announced a good deal of staff would be losing their jobs, but on top of the layoffs, it also affected some of its more legacy studios, with London Studio shuttered entirely. It’s frankly unfortunately, considering the legacy the developer has with the PlayStation community.
The studio had created over 60 games across its operation, with its last two games being released in 2019.
