Sony Computer Entertainment gets Evolution and Bigbig Studios

Sony Computer Entertainment has given word that they have purchased Evolution Studios Ltd. and its subsidiary Bigbig Studios. This move adds both MotorStorm and Pursuit Force into Sony’s stable, further strengthening the company’s IPs. The acquisitions of Sony have very good track records, with Evolution Studios shipping a game yearly over a span of six years.

SCE World Wide Studios President Phil Harrison commented on the company’s newest investment and how it fits into their plans, pointing out that the company’s current strategy focuses on creating “the best games by working with the best talent and Evolution and Bigbig are world class additions to the team.”

No word was given on how much Sony paid for both companies, or how long before they expect to recuperate their initial cash outlay. We’ll just have to wait and see if their purchase was worth the money in the long run.
