Evolution Studios Inks Deal With Codemasters Saves Studio

But it looks like the story has not ended for the Evolution Studios just yet. 

Codemasters, a British developer most known for their myriad of racing games such as DiRT and the hit game Overlord, made a deal with Sony to transfer Evolution Studios to them. Most of the staff of Evolution Studios will stay hired on and will work in the same offices. The old IPs of Evolution Studios will still stay with Sony. However, Evolution Studios is looking forward to making new games and projects with Codemasters.

Codemasters CEO Frank Sagnier commented on the acquisition as follows:

While it’s not entirely clear what games Evolution Studios is going to be developing, there are a couple of things that we know for sure. Because of Codemasters’ affinity for racing games, we can be certain that Evolution Studios could possibly collaborate on making games together or have oversight from Codemasters on making their own original work. Also, due to the success of DiRT 3  and DiRT Rally, Codemasters could have some of members of Evolution studios team working on the project.

Whatever happens, is this a great day for fans of racing games and of Evolution Studios. Gamers can revel in this victory for gaming and be excited for what the future hold for Evolution Studios.
