The game in question is Raging Loop, a visual novel published on ‍the​ Nintendo Switch by publisher‍ PQube. It was compared to ‍ The Last ‌of Us by several people on social ⁣media, mostly due to its zombie-like enemies,‍ post-apocalyptic setting,⁣ and⁤ its story about survival⁤ and⁤ choices – all of which are ​core components of Naughty Dog’s game.

What Happened?

Naughty Dog filed a⁢ copyright ‌dispute with Nintendo in response to the backlash, alleging that Raging Loop contained stolen assets and copied a majority of the game’s narrative elements. Nintendo ‍then removed⁣ the game from the⁢ eShop, and PQube issued an apology and promised to “investigate​ and ‍address the concerns that ‍have​ been raised”.

What Now?

PQube⁢ has yet to comment on ⁢the status of the game, though ‍it appears that they are still ​investigating the claims and working out a​ solution with‍ Naughty Dog ⁢and Nintendo. It’s uncertain when the game will return to the eShop, ⁣but in the meantime PQube has pulled all ⁤promotional materials ⁣for the game and removed ​it from their website.

Conclusion

The removal of Raging Loop from the ⁣eShop is a large blow to PQube and ‍the game’s developers, but⁤ hopefully they can ⁣work out a solution with​ Naughty Dog and Nintendo soon so that ⁢the game can be made available again. Unless more information comes to light, it is ⁤likely that the dispute over its‌ similarities to The Last of Us ​will remain unresolved.
