Sony's New UK Studio is Already Working on "High Quality Morpheus Games"

The North West Studio will include staff from Motorstorm and Driveclub developer Evolution Studios.

Sony has confirmed that it has established a new UK studio, which will focus on developing for PlayStation 4's virtual reality headset Project Morpheus.

The corporation has since explained to GameSpot that the team will include staff from Motorstorm and Driveclub developer Evolution Studios, who will work on "high quality experiences" for the VR headset.

"We are dedicated to producing high quality experiences for Project Morpheus, and the creation of this studio allows us to build a small but highly experienced team who can utilise their skills to showcase this exciting new immersive technology," said a Sony spokesperson.

"We always look to relocate staff throughout the studios, and this is no exception. The new team will be made up of a combination of Evolution staff members and new talent, with a focus on hiring the most highly experienced team possible."

Morpheus is expected to launch in the first half of 2016.
