A couple days ago we reported on Onrush developers Codemasters Evo being hit by round of layoffs, following disappointing sales of their arcade racer genre mash-up. However, the game is still out and while a number of senior staff have departed the studio, they’re still putting the final touches to a major update for the game.
Hey guys! We just wanted to let you all know that we have a BIG update coming at the start of August, which includes something a lot of you have been asking for! ?
We also have a whole lot more to come, too! Thank you all for your patience and stay tuned! ?#ONRUSH pic.twitter.com/e0shlZiuui

The “something a lot of you have been asking for” sounds like it would be ranked play, which hasn’t been enabled since launch and could help spice up the multiplayer action a little. Meanwhile, Evo are still alive and kicking as a studio, even with the various departures, and it’s good to hear that they plan to carry on supporting the game and its burgeoning community.

That’s really sad, especially considering Evolution’s recent history with Sony.
I hope they all do well, and Onrush becomes more successful!
