Sony Closes RIGS: Mechanized Combat League Dev Guerrilla Cambridge
Sony has closed RIGS: Mechanized Combat League (PSVR) developer Guerrilla Cambridge, and is currently trying to relocated its employees if possible.
In a statement to gamesindustry.biz, Sony says that the move is a result of "some changes to the European studios structure." Nevertheless, no other studios are being affected at this time.
The studio has a long history of game development, and before it was a subsidiary of Killzone developer Guerrilla Games in 2013 (working on Vita's Killzone: Mercenary), it was known as SCEE Cambridge Studio. The developer created the MediEvil series first on PlayStation, as well as PS2 title Primal.

Our Take
Closing first-party studios that make games for your new VR peripheral is not a great way to support said peripheral. Best of luck to all of those affected by the closure.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
