Update: Solid sources told me the following Information:
SPE shared its intent to wind down the Pixomondo ‘umbrella‘, and integrate some of its capabilities into other areas of Sony.
As part of this…
The R&D/Innovation component of the business would be absorbed by Sony Group’s R&D operation.
PXO’s VFX operations would close after the completion of any outstanding projects or contracts…SPE is streamlining VFX efforts internally to focus on its Imageworks capabilities.
Clara operations would begin to wind down as well, with potential for some business initiatives associated with Sony Group to be transferred over.
All outstanding contracts will be fulfilled.
Plans are very much still in development and subject to legal and regulatory process.
