Uncharted Hero Returns in an Unexpected Horror Game on PS Store, Sparking Moderation Debate
Concerns regarding the moderation standards of the PlayStation Store have once again come to light.
Recently, a user known as Trent3322 was browsing the PlayStation Store and made an unusual discovery. They stumbled upon a horror game titled 28 Floors: Outbreak, developed by Witenovastudio OÜ. What immediately caught attention was the striking resemblance of the character depicted in the game's key art to Nathan Drake, the iconic protagonist of Sony's renowned Uncharted franchise.
Despite the undeniable visual likeness, the official description for 28 Floors: Outbreak provides no indication of any connection to the Uncharted universe:
Explore a crumbling bio-laboratory mega-building in this first-person survival horror, where the only safe place is the sole working elevator, and the only path to salvation is the roof.
This incident has reignited criticism among players directed at the PlayStation Store's content moderation policies. It marks yet another instance where games featuring artwork that appears to infringe upon established copyrights have managed to get listed on the digital storefront.
Some users even found humor in the situation. For example, a user named TurqoiseWind quipped: "This game is the link between Uncharted and The Last of Us," playfully suggesting a connection between two of PlayStation's major exclusive franchises.
