Sony axing Liverpool game studio, ends Psygnosis' 28-year history

Sony axing Liverpool game studio, ends Psygnosis' 28-year history

Sony has confirmed that it's shuttering Studio Liverpool, more famously known as Psygnosis. The publisher was founded in 1984 and is responsible for a legion of best-selling titles including Lemmings, Colony Wars, Destruction Derby, Wipeout and the Formula One games. In a statement, the company said that after a review of its "commercially viable" projects, it's focusing on projects in other parts of the business - after slashing the studio's remit in a cost-cutting exercise in 2010.
