Pixel Opus senior environment artist Bob Archibald appeared to confirm the news, tweeting, “I like to think that with #ConcreteGenie – we made the world an ever-so-slightly better place… and not too many games these days have the chance to try and do that. I will always be grateful for my time building imaginative worlds with this incredible team. <3.”
