Some assumed PlayStation was involved, but it appears the developer made the game entirely from bought assets, and utilized AI-generated art for it and other titles.
Gamers have been discussing Anime Village Online on X and Reddit, with the conversation turning negative around October 6th to 8th.
Despite the backlash, evidence suggests that the developer created the game using bought assets and AI-generated art, rather than receiving support from Sony.
