Closing Sony Japan Studio

Gravity Rush, Bloodborne, Patapon, Siren, Tokyo Jungle, Demon’s Souls, Astro’s Playroom – Sony’s Japan Studio is responsible for so many excellent games over the decades. Its closure in 2021 sparked significant disappointment and concern over Sony’s commitment to first-party development. Team Asobi has since risen from the ashes and delivered Astro Bot, but the sheer number of quality IPs languishing by the wayside is shameful.
