Developer PixelOpus, part of Sony’s Worldwide Studios, announced Concrete Genie will be released for the PS4 on Oct. 8 for $29.99, or $39.99 for the Digital Deluxe edition. Both versions include two PSVR modes alongside the main game, and the Digital Deluxe version includes a digital art book, a soundtrack, a Pond Design Pack that expands your in-game toolset, and a Dynamic Theme.In addition to the price and date, PixelOpus also confirmed Concrete Genie, like most Sony first-party games, will have an included Photo Mode. But given that players’ artistic expression, painting scenery and genies on the buildings of the fictional town of Denska, Pixelopus’ Photo Mode has a twist."Once you've lined up your shot, you can press a button and it will replay, like a timelapse, all of your painted elements," Dominic Robilliard, Creative Director at PixelOpus, said. "It's something we just can't stop playing with, it's so much fun."Players will be able to publish not just still photos of their creations but also timelapse-esque videos that showcase how a particular work came together. Given that Concrete Genie offers players the same painting parts but the opportunity to draw and blend them together as they please, Photo Mode will let players show off their artwork, and the creative process behind those pieces.Finaly, PixelOpus has also revealed a new skill that players will be able to use in the game: Paint Skating. While not going into any detail, it appears the skill will allow for fast traversal on skates made of luminous paint.Concrete Genie is PixelOpus’ second game, following up its previously PS4 exclusive Entwined . Sony first revealed Concrete Genie in October 2017.
