Sony has announced that it is axing Leamington Spa based developer Bigbig.
The studio recently completed work on Little Deviants, a PS Vita launch title, and had also worked on games for the PSP.
Sony has also revealed plans to downsize their Cambridge division, with them set to partner up with Dutch company Guerilla Games (famous for the Killzone series) as they work on new projects for the Vita.
Sony told website Develop that although Bigbig was: "an important part of SCE Worldwide Studios....it was felt that by focusing on other Studios that are currently working on exciting new projects, we would be in a stronger position to offer the best possible content for our consumers".
The platform holder later added: "We have reviewed and assessed all current projects and plans for the short and medium term and have decided to make some changes to European studios. As a result of this, there will be a realignment of resource within the studio to ensure that the studio is in the best position to achieve this."
