I was only @Pixelopus since Jan, but it has been some of the most creatively fulfilling work of my career. The talent at this studio really blew me away. I’m grieving right now at the loss of a great team, and a great project. I hope we all land on our feet, preferably together. https://t.co/wcoghzz7B6

Damn, this came out of nowhere. I'm hoping everyone at the studio lands on their feet.
That's a real shame. I'm guessing this project wasn't turning out the way they were hoping. Media Molecule better hope they nail the project they're working on now.
PixelOpus was a very creative studio. This could've been a one-of-a-kind game.
Sony tightening up on things and likely didn't like thier progress on the latest project. Media Molecule is next i assume since they wasted a whole gen.
That is very sad indeed. The "indie portions" of Sony suffering for a long time.

I think Media Molecule has more room for error compared to other PlayStation studios that have shut down because of how well their games review.
I still imagine Media Molecule is fine.
I think London Studio is closer to being on the way out.
Media Molecule pretty much printed money during the PS3 era. Dreams was still a success critically.
I do wonder what PixelOpus was collaborating with Sony Pictures Animation on before their project got canned.

I was going to say. London Studio is probably next on the chopping block if their next game doesn't pan out.
