Media Molecule appoints John Beech as new creative director

After more than 17 years working at Media Molecule, Mark Healey stepped down as Creative Director last month. It seems like there is a lot going on at the British studio at the moment, as it has also been announced that development of Dreams will come to an end on September 1, 2023.

In the meantime, we have come to know that John Beech is taking over as Creative Director, tasked with overseeing the new project currently in production at Media Molecule. At a time when Sony is embracing the multiplayer, GAAS type of games, the small english studio will have to prove its talent and originality in order to preserve their place in the PlayStation portfolio.
