Sony In Talks with Lionhead Studios for Job Opportunities
This Is During a PlayStation Job Recruitment Event
Following the cancellation of "Fable Legends" and the proposal to shut down Lionhead Studios by Microsoft, Sony had invited the team to their job recruitment event.
We're having a #Recruitment Event in Guildford for everyone at #LionheadStudios on Monday, please come along for a drink and a chat... there'll be people there from all our SCEE studios and if you'd like to a book a time for a chat on the day, please DM for details
It seems more than likely that those from the team may need to find employment elsewhere, whether it be in a different studios within Microsoft or with a different publisher all together. Lionhead Studios just released a statement on their Twitter stating that it's been a "tough week" with the cancellation of "Fable Legends."
Tough week, but we’re all deeply touched by overwhelming show of love & support from gamers and fellow devs. Heartfelt thanks #gamerfamily
Whether those part of Lionhead Studios take up the offer from Sony at the job event, stay with Microsoft in a different studio, or try employment elsewhere isn't known at this time.
