Sony Interactive Entertainment recently reportedly wants to cancel the release of Rise of the Ronin in South Korea. This decision certainly makes many people wonder about the reason for the cancellation of the game.
Then, what made Sony cancel the release of this game in South Korea? Let’s see the review from Gamedaim below. Also, please share this article with your colleagues so they don’t miss our latest information.
Reasons for the Cancellation of Rise of Ronin in South Korea
For information only, Team Ninja is the developer working on Rise of Ronin. The game takes players to a backdrop in war-torn 19th-century Japan. Originally, the game was planned for release on 22 March 2024 but Sony reportedly did not want to release the game in South Korea.
Although it was not made clear, the cancellation was likely due to the game’s Japanese setting and the involvement of Shoin Yoshida, a controversial figure in Korea in the past.
Yoshida was a figure who helped political activists and made a major contribution to the Meiji Restoration which also restored imperial rule in Japan in 1868. In addition, Yoshida was also a supporter of the conquest of Korea, which was then ruled by Japan from 1910 to 1945.
Of course, this makes sense if Sony cancels the release of this game in South Korea. The setting of the game itself is likely to trigger the anger of Koreans who are traumatized by Japanese colonization.
