Concrete Genie Adds a Lick of Paint to PS4 from 8th October

A happy accident

Concrete Genie PS4 PlayStation 4 Release Date 1

You’ve read our Concrete Genie preview, right? Of course you have, and now you’re probably wondering when you can play it. PixelOpus confirmed to us during a recent demo event that the full game will drop on 8th October in North America and 9th October in Europe, meaning that it’s just a few months away at this stage. That’s great news, considering just how excited we are after our hands on.

But there’s more: the title will retail for just £24.99/$29.99, which is flabbergasting considering just how polished it appears to be. The developer told us that it wanted as many people as possible to play the product, and so that’s why it decided to go with the lower price point. From what we’ve played so far, this could very well wind up a sleeper hit.

Concrete Genie PS4 PlayStation 4 Pre-Orders 1

Pre-orders are live now on the PlayStation Store, and come with an avatar set and custom theme. Meanwhile, if you opt for the Digital Deluxe Edition at £34.99/$39.99, you’ll be rewarded with a bunch of bonuses, including a digital art book and digital soundtrack. You’ll also grab the Pond Design Pack, which presumably will add inventive new brushes to protagonist Ash’s magical palette.

I know Days Gone was super divisive but I still feel 2019 is going to be another good year for exclusives when we look back. This and Medievil still to come I'm satisfied so far and I personally loved Days Gone.

Wow. Great news. Autumn release schedule is a little bit busy with COD, Medieval, DS, etc - but this is early October and probably a good time. The $30 price tag is awesome though. I think I’m likely to buy it day 1 for that price. I’d like to support this type of game.

@KnightWolf Dreams is a long term, hybrid and very in depth dev tool that also happens to ship with 3 playable campaigns. The purpose of Dreams is going to be waaay beyond a hardline date for a retail version. They are already acquiring small dev teams to literally make games to sell using Dreams engine. Amazing stuff

So Concrete genie and Medievil in October, Then Death Stranding in November. Looks like Sony is going to be closing out the year very strong for holiday season. Hopefully we see some new bundles with some of these new games as well.
