RUMOR: Sony may have closed Studio Liverpool.

This link is the only source I could find on the matter.

Studio Liverpool was formerly known as Psygnosis, and was responsible for (among others) the Wipeout series.

UPDATE: Sandy Lobban has confirmed it on his Twitter. I guess that's it for the studio.

UPDATE 2: Official statement from Sony.

The writting was on the wall ever since they fired most of the Wipeout team after Fury was released but still, fuck.

screw this generation.

This gen has had a lot of casualties.

When I first read this title I thought it meant Sony was closing its European branch which really shocked me. I didn't think the Vita hurt them that bad.

After reading I realize what it actually meant which makes far more sense. So what games did these people make?

Primarily Wipeout, but they, as Psygnosis, also made games like the original Lemmings and stuff. They were big on Amiga, I think.

Apparently, they were working on two Playstation 4 games. Wipeout 4, which was said to be dramatically different to previous games of the series, as well as a stealth game similar to Splinter Cell. These are now both cancelled.
