Overview
- Multiple reports, published Monday and Tuesday, cite senior environment designer Raphael Kidd’s online CV as listing responsibility for “open‑world content” on an unannounced new IP.
- The portfolio specifically names duties such as blocking out main points of interest, designing moment‑to‑moment gameplay, handling forage design, and scripting gameplay elements.
- Media Molecule stopped live support for Dreams in September 2023 and announced layoffs and a strategic refocus in October 2023, which the studio said redirected resources toward this new project.
- Neither Media Molecule nor Sony has officially confirmed the details and outlets note resume descriptions can change during pre‑production, so the open‑world scope remains unverified.
- If accurate, the shift from creation tools to a larger non‑linear game would mark a notable change for the studio and could alter PlayStation’s first‑party lineup, though a June 2 State of Play is not expected to reveal the title.
