PixelOpus, the developers behind 2019's Concrete Genie and a small Sony-owned studio, is shutting down. The developers made the announcement via a tweet earlier this week:

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

"PlayStation Studios regularly evaluates its portfolio and the status of studio projects to ensure they meet the organization’s short and long-term strategic objectives," Sony told IGN in a statement. "As part of a recent review process, it has been decided that PixelOpus will close on June 2."

Prior to its closure, PixelOpus was collaborating with Sony Pictures Animation for a PS5 game built on Unreal Engine 5. The status of that game and whether the developers will be reassigned to work on other projects at other studios was not made clear.

Work on your literacy skills there champ. I never said any such thing.

Uh oh. Got me there. Was meant for Noctosphere, but it's not difficult to get confused when speaking to a two headed dummy. Especially when one randomly jumps in on the others conversation.

I just learned we're a two-headed dummy. You're not allowed to tell people everyone is entitled to their own opinion unless you share the opinion of the person you say it to apparently.
