SCE Cambridge Studio (later known as Guerrilla Cambridge) was a British video game developer based in Cambridge, England. The studio was founded on July 4, 1997, when Sony Computer Entertainment Europe bought the Millennium development studio from CyberLife Ltd for six million pounds.[2] The developer was mainly known for making the MediEvil series for the original PlayStation and the PSP.
