In a recent interview with GI, SCEEs Michael Denny confirmed that the company’s Studio Liverpool (WipeOut) and Evolution Studios (Motorstorm) are to merge.

The two teams have already combined their “management structure” and are currently using “combined resources,” said Denny who went on to say that each studio will continue to have their own “internal concepting group” to think up “new opportunities and new IPs.”

Thanks, PSF.

I always thought it was strange there was two major studios right next to each other. Runcorn is only like 20 mins away from liverpool if that.

Not strange, Evolution used to be independent.

I think the point is they will be under one roof (and Sony Liverpools offices look awesome and are huge)but still a two project team.

Or maybe they can sack everyone and prtend they merged them xD
