Concrete Genie Gets Release Date

According to the Official US PlayStation Blog, Concrete Genie, the beautifully animated painting game from developer Pixelopus has finally been given a firm release date! Never one to spoil a moment, I’ll give it over to Pixelopus Creative Director Dominic Robilliard to tell you the details.

Hello! Dominic Robilliard, Creative Director of Pixelopus here with very exciting news. I’m happy to announce that Concrete Genie will be available on October 8.

To celebrate this occasion, we have a new Concrete Genie trailer to share, which provides some new glimpses of our protagonist Ash on his personal journey to paint his hometown of Denska back to life, as well as the challenges he’ll face along the way. Later on in the game there is an exciting gameplay twist, which we hinted at in our last trailer, and we show some more of that here. Ash’s magic brush has a few new surprises that are revealed through the course of the story, one of which is ‘Paint Skating’. We hope you like it!

That’s not all the news about Concrete Genie, though. In addition to the PlayStation VR mode that was announced back in April, there will also be a newly revealed Photo Mode! I simply couldn’t imagine this game not launching with a photo mode, or some kind of way to pause the action and simply admire the beautiful creations on-screen.

The PlayStation Blog has all the details, including information about the new photo mode, the price of the standard and Deluxe editions, and all the goodies the Deluxe edition comes with, and more. So I wholeheartedly recommend going over there and reading the blog post in full.

I can’t wait to dive into this gorgeous marvel of a game when Concrete Genie Launches October 8!
