PixelOpus is one of PlayStation’s more creative first-party teams, with the studio’s relatively recent Concrete Genie being a particular standout on the PlayStation 4. And it looks like it’s gearing up for a new next-gen project, with creative director Dominic Robilliard revealing on LinkedIn that the developer is expanding. “We’re currently looking for two engineers to join us on our new and exciting PlayStation 5 adventure,” he said.
The roles include a Senior Game Engine Programmer and a Gameplay Programmer, although there are no hints to what the studio is working on in the listings. Both jobs mention that candidates will have the opportunity to “work with next-gen hardware”, but stop short of teasing any specific details. It’s almost impossible to predict what the team could be making next, as this is a small developer that's given a lot of leeway to do what it wants.

Interesting. I enjoyed Concrete Genie although it was a bit shallow.
Looking forward to see what they create next.
Cool news. I liked Concrete Genie very much...can not wait to see what is the next adventure!
Good news. I enjoyed Concrete Genie. It was a great side.
Concrete Genie was a massive improvement over Entwined imo, so I'm curious to see what this team does next.
Fantastic news! Concrete Genie is such a gem.
Hopefully this one doesnt include a glitch stopping you from getting the final trophy needed for the plat. Grr.
Concrete genie was a lot of fun otherwise and this dev has a bright future
I really loved Concrete Genie , one of my favorite games of 19' . So I'm excited for what's next 👌🏾
Nice, Entwined was good game and Concrete Genie was an awesome departure. They're clearly a very creative team.
I’m encouraged that PixelOpus is working on something, so hopefully the dramatically poor sales performance of Concrete Genie hasn’t put the studio on the chopping block. I really liked the game and I really value these creative smaller titles to add variety to the PlayStation buffet.
PixelOpus and Japan Studio are PlayStation's best studios.
If y'all wanna fight me on that, please send an email to my secretary. My agenda is already full.
I'm surprised no one is wanting Concrete Genie 2? We need to know what happens next.
