History

In 2012, SIE's Foster City Studio (now known as San Mateo Studio) product development group decided to work with small development teams following the success of Journey (2012) developed by the small studio, Thatgamecompany, and published by Santa Monica Studio.[5] Soon after, SIE's Foster City sponsored a game development program for students at Carnegie Mellon University.[5] They provided PlayStation Vitas for students to experiment with; Foster City were jubilant with students' ability in to rapidly prototype game ideas.[5] In July 2013, Foster City offered six students from the development program at the Carnegie Mellon University and three students from San Jose State University.[5] Additionally, a pair of industry veterans were hired to lead the 9-man team, forming PixelOpus.[5] Dominic Robilliard is the creative director at PixelOpus.[5]

On May 5, 2023, PixelOpus announced through their Twitter that the studio would be shutting down.[6] In a statement to IGN, Sony confirmed that it would be closing the studio on June 2, 2023, as it "regularly evaluates its portfolio and the status of studio projects to ensure they meet the organization’s short and long-term strategic objectives. As part of a recent review process, it has been decided that PixelOpus will close on June 2".[7]
