In a move that’s sad but hardly surprising, Sony has confirmed the demobilization of SOCOM developer Zipper Interactive. As reported by IGN, Sony released a statement saying;
“[We] can confirm the closure of Zipper Interactive, a Seattle-based internal game development studio that has been part of the global development operation of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS). The closure is a result of a normal cycle of resource re-alignment within SCE WWS. Zipper has complete all work associated with its most recent project, Unit 13 for PlayStation Vita. Zipper titles MAG, SOCOM 4 and Unit 13 will continue to be supported, including the new Daily Challenges in Unit 13.”
We at The Koalition would like to wish all former Zipper employees the very best of luck.
