Sony has confirmed that Evolution Studios, the developer behind the PS4-exclusive DRIVECLUB, has suffered another round of layoffs.
"Evolution Studios will now focus on DriveClub as a service going forward, in particular, the important launch of the PS Plus Edition," Sony said in a statement. "We will be restructuring Evolution Studios to ensure that SCE WWS and in particular, Evolution Studios are in the best position to achieve these goals.
Our first party development studios are key to our creative strategy and we are very excited about the future projects being worked on and the role Evolution Studios will play."
Evolution was hit by a round of layoffs last March, in a move by Sony that also affected staff at two other U.K. studios, namely Guerrilla Cambridge and SCE London Studio.
DRIVECLUB itself was marred by numerous server issues upon its October launch, which resulted in the PlayStation Plus Edition of the racer being delayed. However, Sony has assured gamers it is still aiming to have this version of the game released at some point.
