PlayStation Evolution Studios Closed

Evolution Studios which made games like Motorstorm and Driveclub, have been shut down which Sony confirmed today.

Sony told the publication the decision came after a regular review of every developer within Sony to ensure a competitive landscape can create and produce high quality, innovative and commercially viable projects as well as:

“It is regrettable that this decision will lead to compulsory redundancies. We accept that this decision will mean that we risk losing high caliber staff, but by focusing on other Studios that already have exciting new projects in development we believe we will be in a stronger position going forward and able to offer the best possible content of the highest quality for our consumers.”

So will Microsoft pull a Sony and hire everyone just fired?

This was bound to happen with all the development troubles really. Sad to hear though.

I wonder what they will do with the IP?

I'd imagine Sony will pass it to another studio. Past all of the development troubles it was a strong game, and a good racer. They'll want to use it in the future for sure.
