Firesprite was formed from the remnants of Sony Liverpool - which PlayStation shut down back in 2012. Now it has quietly grown to become one of the largest development teams in the UK, and has found itself back as a first-party studio. PlayStation also bought up Returnal developer, Housemarque, over the summer, too. The acquisition of Valkyrie brings PlayStation's tally of first-party studios to 17.
