The Ghost Of Yōtei has been a highly anticipated game for quite some time now, but it seems like its release date announcement has left a bitter taste in the mouths of some fans. In a recent blog post, a reader expressed their disappointment and concern over Sony's handling of the game's release, and how it may reflect a bleak future for PlayStation.
It's no secret that Sony's behavior in the past few years has been rather peculiar. After a solid launch of the PlayStation 5, the company seemed to have a change of heart and shifted their focus towards live service games. This sudden shift was followed by a period of silence, where Sony stopped talking about their upcoming projects and stopped releasing first-party games altogether.
Last year was particularly rough for PlayStation fans, with only a few major releases and not much to look forward to. This year hasn't been much better, with only a couple of remastered versions of older games and a sequel to Death Stranding on the horizon. And now, we're finally getting Ghost Of Yōtei in October, but the way it was revealed has left many scratching their heads.
Instead of a big announcement at a State of Play event or a dedicated showcase, Sony chose to unveil the game's release date through a simple tweet and a short PlayStation Blog post. And the lack of effort and enthusiasm put into this reveal has left the reader feeling frustrated and fed up with Sony's current approach to gaming.
It's not just about Ghost Of Yōtei, but rather Sony's overall attitude towards their fans and their products. The reader questions why Sony seems to hate being a games publisher, why they don't communicate with their audience, and why they seem content with doing the bare minimum.
But the bigger concern here is what this could mean for the future of PlayStation. With Microsoft out of the picture, Sony has been able to get away with their lack of effort and competence. However, the reader predicts that if things continue this way, it won't be long before Nintendo's success with the Switch 2 forces Sony to give up on consoles altogether and become a third-party publisher like Xbox.
It's a sad and disappointing thought, but the reader believes it's a possibility if Sony doesn't start making changes soon. They hope that Sony will snap out of this "weird funk" they're in and start putting more effort into their products and communication with their fans. But until then, the reader fears that Sony's inaction may ultimately lead to the downfall of PlayStation.
