Square Enix has been doing a good job with their games for a few years now. With a greater focus on their old catalog, releasing more small and medium-sized games, giving space and budget to their bigger games, they are doing interesting things. They still need to improve the marketing of their non-AAA games, but it seems like they are on the right track<\/strong>. Except for their marked obsession with NFTs, generative AI, and everything that causes allergic reactions in players.<\/p>\n\n\n

Last Tuesday, January 16th, in a post on the PlayStation blog<\/a>, they revealed the release date of their upcoming game, Foamstars<\/a>: February 6th. This game is a 4vs4 third-person multiplayer shooter for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 that strongly resembles Splatoon, but with a k-pop-inspired aesthetic<\/strong>. Something they hope will reach a different and broader audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem for Square Enix is that the game has not been well received. Because, according to the game’s producer, Kosuke Okatani, the development team has used AI-generated assets<\/strong>. While he has emphasized that all design aspects have been developed by humans, the reality is that some game icons and disc covers have been created through Midjourney. This can also create several problems for them in the medium and long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
