"Sony Cancels South Korean Release of Rise of the Ronin Amid Controversy"
TL;DR Summary
Sony has cancelled the Korean release of Rise of the Ronin following director Fumuhiko Yasuda's controversial comments in a behind-the-scenes trailer, which were seen as insensitive given the historical tensions between Japan and Korea. The comments were widely disseminated in an official trailer uploaded on PlayStation's YouTube account, leading to the game being pulled from the Korean PlayStation Store and the trailer removed from the PlayStation Korea YouTube account. Yasuda's comments about an influential 19th-century scholar's ties to a right-wing movement advocating for an invasion of Korea sparked the controversy.
