Sony announced it sets up a new office in Liverpool relocating the previous one from Wavertree, a suburb of Liverpool, after 27 years, to the center of the city. According to the company, the new facility will open in the spring of 2022.
The new location is a 65,000 square foot campus that includes "collaboration and entertainment" spaces, a cafe, a staff gym, and a rooftop terrace.
PlayStation has been a massive business in Liverpool bringing good opportunities for the local economy. Since the initial debut of PlayStation in Europe, the Wavertree Technology Park area where the office was set became a huge part of the city. At its peak, the Liverpool office employed over 500 staff members and operated a number of developers. Last year, the company purchased Firesprite Studio, a game developer which is also based in the city.
