Driveclub developer Evolution has been shut down by Sony
SCE 确认将关闭《驾驶俱乐部》《摩托风暴》开发工作室 Evolution Studios

　　根据游戏产业新闻网站 GamesIndustry.biz 报导，索尼计算机娱乐（SCE）证实将关闭位于英国朗科恩、曾开发《驾驶俱乐部》、《摩托风暴》等游戏的英国开发工作室 Evolution Studios。

　　Evolution Studios 是 Martin Kenwright 与 Ian Hetherington 于 1999 年成立的游戏开发工作室，旗下曾经手过《世界越野冠军赛》系列、《摩托风暴》系列与近期的《驾驶俱乐部》等以竞速赛车类型为主的游戏开发。 不过在开发首款 PS4 游戏《驾驶俱乐部》时，因为发售时程大幅延后以及在线服务出状况等问题，对工作室与 SCE 造成很大的麻烦，导致近半数成员于来年被裁员。

　　SCE 表示，为了确保有足够资源打造高质量、创新且具备商业价值的企划，公司会例行性地针对环球工作室进行检讨。 在检讨现有项目与拟定短中程计划之后，决定对旗下的欧洲工作室进行组织调整，结果就是决定关闭 Evolution Studios。 SCE 对于关闭工作室无可避免的裁员深感遗憾，虽然这样的决定有可能导致流失优秀人才的风险，但是聚焦在其他拥有令人兴奋新项目正在开发的工作室，能获得更稳固的立足点向前迈进，且有最佳的机会能提供消费者高质量的内容。

　　SCE 同时表示，会尝试将 Evolution Studios 工作室成员转调到其他项目，如果公司内部没有合适的职位，将会尽可能协助工作室成员在外求职，包括向当地的雇主或是其他开发公司洽谈。



Sony confirms closure of Evolution Studios

Evolution Studios, the developer behind franchises like World Rally Championship and MotorStorm, has been shut down by Sony, we've just learned. The company's most recent DriveClub was a troubled project for the studio and Sony, having seen delays and online problems - 55 people had been cut from Evolution just one year ago. Now, Sony has made the tough decision to make the rest of the Evolution staff redundant.

In the complete statement, which you can read below, Sony said it would try to reallocate some of the Evolution team to other studios, but the company's aware that it may also lose some serious talent.

Sony's statement

Regular reviews take place throughout SCE Worldwide Studios, ensuring that the resources that we have in such a competitive landscape can create and produce high quality, innovative and commercially viable projects.

As part of this process we have reviewed and assessed all current projects and plans for the short and medium term and have decided to make some changes to the European studios structure.

As a result, it has been decided that Evolution Studio will close.

It is regrettable that this decision will lead to compulsory redundancies. We accept that this decision will mean that we risk losing high calibre staff but by focusing on other Studios that already have exciting new projects in development we believe we will be in a stronger position going forward and able to offer the best possible content of the highest quality for our consumers.

Where possible we will try to reallocate people onto other projects. If appropriate opportunities are not possible within the company, we will assist staff in any way we can, including speaking with local employers and with other development companies.

Evolution has been an important part of SCE Worldwide Studios for over 10 years - working on ground-breaking racing titles like WRC, Motorstorm and DRIVECLUB.

This decision should not take anything away from the great work that Evolution has produced.

Evolution Studios joins Codemasters
Codemasters将接收Evolution Studios 开发商团队

　　此前索尼曾经于2016年3月下旬确认，他们将会关闭《驾驶俱乐部》和《摩托风暴》开发商Evolution Studios。当时索尼并没有透露该工作室员工未来的具体去向，不过日前曾推出过《尘埃》、《超级房车赛》和《一级方程式赛车》等知名竞速游戏系列的Codemasters确认，他们将会聘请Evolution的这些员工，接收这家开发商的团队。

　　在官方博客中，Codemasters表示：“Codemasters将会扩展其工作室的产品组合，这其中包括来自Evolution Studios的优秀团队。”

　　此外根据Codemasters的说法，《一级方程式赛车2015》和《尘埃：拉力赛》所获得的成功让他们决定“重新定位公司的发展”，而这将从接收Evolution Studios这家曾经专门开发PS系平台独占游戏的工作室的人才开始。

　　不过需要注意的是，Codemasters并没有收购Evolution Studios以及其IP，而Codemasters目前也没有透露他们到底雇用了这家工作室的多少员工。Codemasters对于他们此次的扩张做法表示：“这种扩充不仅会让我们获得丰富的赛车专业知识和技能，还会将Codemasters推到全新的等级，令其成为世界上最大的专注于竞速游戏的游戏公司。凭借惊人的竞速DNA，我们希望我那家门能够起到我们的下一步。”

　　Evolution Studios的团队加入Codemasters后将不再只开发PS系平台作品，他们以后也会开发针对多平台的游戏。而联合创始人Mick Hockin此后将成为Codemasters的产品开发副总裁，他会负责该公司所有的工作室，这也包括现在的多平台Evolution团队。

　　Hockin表示：“我很高兴在Codemasters获得成长的这一激动人心的时刻加入该公司。我们对对竞速游戏有着同样的基情和创新的欲望，并且拥有打造最佳竞速游戏、建立市场上最大竞速社区的决心。我非常期待和许多世界上最伟大竞速游戏开发者们一起工作，和他们一起创造新IP，并一起开发《尘埃》、《超级房车赛》、《微型机器》以及《一级方程式赛车》等系列游戏。”



Codemasters welcomes the team from Evolution Studios

We have very exciting news today. We’re delighted to announce that on the 25th April, Codemasters will be expanding its portfolio of studios to include the highly-respected and very talented team from Evolution Studios.

Why are we so excited? Well, that should be pretty obvious! Over the last 30 years, Codemasters and Evolution Studios have created some of the most successful racing franchises in the industry, including GRID, DiRT, Driveclub and MotorStorm. This expansion will not only see us gain a wealth of racing expertise and skill, but it’ll take Codemasters to the next level as the world’s largest racing-focused games company. With phenomenal racing DNA on both sides, we hope that gamers out there are excited to see what we do next – as are all of us here at Codies.

We’re also delighted that Mick Hocking – formerly of Evolution Studios – will be taking the position of VP Product Development at Codemasters; a role which will see him responsible for all of the company’s studios – including the addition of the now multi-platform Evolution team in Cheshire.

Codies CEO Frank Sagnier has said of the union, “The success of F1 2015 and DiRT Rally over the last 12 months has re-positioned the company for growth. The addition of the Evolution team to our studio group will allow us to scale our business and strengthen our leadership as the world’s premier racing game developer. I’m thrilled to have Mick Hocking join Codemasters as VP of Product Development. His experience in building AAA IP and leading great teams made him a natural choice to head the development of all of our products. I am equally thrilled to welcome his talented team to the Codemasters family and I look forward to the great games and brand new IP we will develop together.”

Mick Hocking added, “I’m delighted to be joining Codemasters at such an exciting time in the company’s growth. We have a shared passion for racing, a desire to innovate and a determination to create the best racing games and build the biggest racing community in the market. I’m very much looking forward to working with so many of the world’s greatest racing developers, on new IP as well as exciting franchises including DiRT, GRID, Micro Machines and the Formula One games.”

On a personal note, we can’t wait to welcome the Evolution team to Codemasters. Being huge fans and admirers of the Driveclub and MotorStorm games – as well as their enthusiastic and extremely passionate communities – it’s genuinely exciting to be joining forces with such an awesome team. We’re celebrating our 30th birthday this year, and we can’t think of a better way to see it in than to be bringing on board such a monumentally talented group of people. We can’t wait to start working together, and to see what this combination of incredible talents has in store!
