索尼宣布关闭《驾驶俱乐部》开发商Evolution

索尼电脑娱乐公司宣布关闭曾开发了《驾驶俱乐部》和《机车风暴》系列的开发工作室Evolution Studios，关闭的主要原因是SCE全球工作室的战略调整。

Evolution Studios是一家成立于1999年的游戏开发工作室，其代表作有《冠军拉力赛》和《机车风暴》系列。工作室目前的最新作品是已经登陆国行主机的PS4竞速游戏《驾驶俱乐部》，尽管游戏发售初期有着很多问题，但目前随着更新修正已经有着非常丰富的内容。随着现在工作室的关闭，《驾驶俱乐部》接下来将会交由PlayStation 小组继续运营。

“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.”
