Bigbig Studios, developers of the Pursuit Force games on PSP and, more recently, Little Deviants on PS Vita, is being shut down after over a decade of operation.
Sony will also be restructuring SCE Cambridge, partnering them with Guerilla Games to work on Killzone for PS Vita. It remains unclear how many employees will be let go from either studio.

Yeah I read about this on another site, too bad seeing as how Little Deviants looks fun. However, it doesn't mean another Pursuit Force can be made from another division.
Damn shame as Little Deviants is really good. Sony makes some oddball moves sometimes. I guess they wouldn't be Sony if they didn't. Hope all the members of BigBig land on their feet.
How unfortunate....Little Deviants was literally the only game that caught my interest on Vita. Its the only game I plan on picking up on launch day (yes, I decided to get one on launch just beacause). Maybe Nintendo can scoop up some of these talented developers :3
I loved those Pursuit Force games. Sony should keep these guys in-house in some capacity.
So...any good news from Sony?
It does seem odd to close a studio before the game is released everywhere
Awwwww! This was one of the only games I was looking forward too! I hope they still manufacture this game!
As far as I know, Little Deviants will be available anyway as a launch title for the Vita. Big Big was a division of Evolution Studios division, so I guess part of its staff will rejoin the latter.
