The player will take on the role of Ash, an artist, and have fun with paint, according to a blog post on the official PlayStation website. Utilizing DualShock 4's motion control sensor, players can create any landscapes that come to mind, as well as creatures that they can interact with.
"There is so much more to share about Concrete Genie in the coming months, and I can't wait to show everyone as much as we can as we head toward release in 2018," said Dominic Robilliard, the creative director of PixelOpus.
"The goal is to make anyone feel they could be an artist," he also said in an interview, which can be seen below.
