PlayStation Studios faces creative scrutiny and project cancellation

PlayStation Studios is facing criticism regarding the creative direction of its single-player narrative adventures. Critics suggest that the studio's current output has become a homogeneous mass, following a repetitive design template established by titles such as Uncharted, The Last of Us, and God of War.

Concerns have been raised following the reception of Insomniac’s Wolverine. Additionally, Hideo Kojima reported that in mid-June, he unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the Physint project, a spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid.
