Today Sony Computer Entertainment announced that it had acquired leading game developer Evolution Studios Ltd and its subsidiary Bigbig studios Ltd.

Evolution Studios is the developer of MotorStorm, the million-selling #1 hit title for Sony PS3.
Evolution Studios was established in 1999 and already delivered PS2 titles like World Rally Championship series. Evolution Studios is currently working on the next installment of the Motorstorm franchise for the Sony PS3, scheduled for release in 2008 on Blu-ray Disc, along with content expansions for the original MotorStorm to be distributed via PLAYSTATION Network.

Bigbig Studios is the developer of the Pursuit Force game for the Sony PSP. The studio is currently working on the second title in the series, Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice, which will be available in October this year for PSP and on PlayStation 2 early in 2008.

”Our strategy is to create the best games by working with the best talent and Evolution and Bigbig are world-class additions to our team,” said Phil Harrison, President of SCE Worldwide Studios. “The incredible people in these studios further extend the depth and skill of the industry's largest platform-exclusive development resource”.
