In an unexpected move, Sony has quietly removed Entwined, the visually striking rhythm game from developer PixelOpus, from the PlayStation Store. This delisting occurred without any official announcement, leaving the gaming community speculating about the reasons behind this sudden disappearance.

Originally launched in June 2014 during Sony's E3 presentation, Entwined offered a unique dual-stick control scheme where players simultaneously guided the souls of a bird and fish through abstract landscapes. While reception was mixed regarding gameplay, critics universally praised its artistic vision and atmospheric soundtrack.

The game's removal affects all PlayStation platforms where it was available, including PS4, PS3, and PS Vita. Interestingly, while Entwined never received a native PS5 version, it remained accessible through backward compatibility until this recent delisting. Existing owners can still download their copies, but new players currently have no way to purchase the title.

Latest Game Information

This situation becomes more puzzling considering PixelOpus, the development studio behind Entwined, was closed by Sony in 2021 after completing Concrete Genie. The studio was reportedly working on an unannounced PS5 project at the time of closure, which might have shared Entwined's artistic sensibilities.
