Sony Announces Phantom Blade Zero State of Play and Everyone Knows How the Chat Is Going to Go
Promising looking action game Phantom Blade Zero is getting its very own State of Play, but if the reaction to Sony’s announcement is any indication, the chat is going to be overrun with angry comments about Sony’s decision to kill PlayStation discs.
Sony has announced a State of Play event featuring the action game Phantom Blade Zero, set to air on August 17 at 7pm PT / 10pm ET / August 18 at 3am UK time. The announcement garnered backlash, with gamers questioning Sony's decision to eliminate PlayStation disc production by 2028. The chat for the event is anticipated to be overwhelmed with angry comments about the discontinuation of physical media.
Some fans have said they might skip the State of Play due to the no-disc backlash, while others have pledged to support the studio by purchasing a physical copy of the game. Despite Sony's assertion that the decision follows consumer trends, a strong backlash from fans and industry figures calls for a reconsideration.
