Sony has taken an interesting step. In recent years it has acquired many animation and game studios under its Playstation Studios label. Sony has announced that PixelOpus will close next month. The company is the creator of Entwined and Concrete Genie games.
PixelOpus is closing on June 2, despite its reputation for innovative ideas
A Playstation official told Engadget that Playstation Studios regularly evaluates the studios in terms of their portfolio and projects. PixelOpus will close on June 2, after these evaluation processes have been completed. The studio posted a farewell tweet after this decision.
Dear friends, our PixelOpus adventure has come to an end. As we look to new futures, we wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to the millions of passionate players who have supported us, and our mission to make beautiful, imaginative games with heart.
We are so grateful! ❤️🙏 pic.twitter.com/rQO2Cgvhnq— PixelOpus (@Pixelopus) May 5, 2023
PixelOpus was founded in 2014 by Sony Interactive Entertainment. He is known for Entwined, Concrete Genie and his productions with interesting concepts and styles. Concrete Genie, a game by PixelOpus, will remain available in the Playstation Store despite the studio’s closure next month. The studio was allegedly working on a PS5 with Sony Picture Animation but we are unlikely to see the game.
