Codies Picks Up Stalled SEGA Racing Studio News

After a week of speculation, Codemasters has today confirmed the acquisition of the Solihull-based SEGA Racing Studio, which closed its doors at the beginning of April.

News of the deal was made to development-orientated mag, Develop, with Codemasters explaining that the acquisition was 'an agreement that facilitates accelerated growth' of the Britsoft outfit.

In a statement, Codemasters CEO Rod Cousens said: "In seizing this opportunity, we have created additional resources to escalate our plans in the racing segment...We hope to welcome more than 40 people to the company and we have enjoyed the full co-operation of our friends at Sega in making this happen. It is good business for Codemasters, an exciting prospect and there will be more to come as we are not content to stand still."

It's currently unclear what the new name for the Racing Studio will be.
