Besides a PlayStation Experience demo way back in 2017 and its inclusion in a single State of Play, there has been minimal buzz about this game in the United States. Unless they have something to hide, I think some more exposure and a public demo would help the game a lot. It also doesn&#8217;t help that Sony is dropping this $60-$70 unproven IP in the middle of a release window that also contains Delta Force, Gears of War, Shinobi, and Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. Maybe they&#8217;re banking on it being a big hit in China, but I don&#8217;t see this having anywhere near the same buzz as similar stuff like Black Myth Wukong and Phantom Blade Zero.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8754584\" data-author=\"users\/185705\" data-subject=\"comments\/8754584\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8754584\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"RudeAnimat0r\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/07\/lost-soul-asides-ps5-pc-price-could-be-its-biggest-bottle-neck#comment8754584\">21<\/a><\/li>\n<li>RudeAnimat0r<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-27T16:19:08+00:00\">Yesterday, 5:19pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>I don&#8217;t have an issue with them charging $60 for this. If it doesn&#8217;t justify that price tag people won&#8217;t buy it and the game will be discounted.<\/p>\n<p>In general, I don&#8217;t have a problem with developers and publishers pricing their titles aggressively. It may not have cost $100m to make, but they probably aren&#8217;t also expecting to sell 5m copies of it.<\/p>\n<p>I also think AA versus AAA is kind of hard to parse. Stellar Blade released at $70 and was from a first time console developer. Hell is Us is coming out at $60.
