Recently, it was announced that Sony has closed the company. A spokeswoman for Sony said that around 50 people had been employed at the studio.
The statement released by Sony has been provided below.
“Whilst we accept that this decision will mean that we risk losing high calibre staff, by focusing on other studios with 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 to our players.
This decision should not take anything away from the incredible games and services that Guerrilla Cambridge has delivered.”
