In this situation, Sony's executives wanted to create their own high-engagement online game.
However, foreign companies lacked experience in developing open-world anime games like Genshin Impact.
So, Sony set its sights on Overwatch, which also had high engagement and stable yearly revenue.
For shooting games like Overwatch, foreign companies and technicians have ample experience.
But with Overwatch already out there, how could they ensure the new game would attract players?
Suddenly, Sony's executives had a flash of inspiration.
Look, multiculturalism is so popular now; why don't we create a multicultural Overwatch?
As a result, Sony acquired a small studio that wanted to make a multicultural shooting game, then poached people from various shooting game companies to bolster the team.
They quickly expanded a small team into a large one and began spending massive amounts of USD to develop the game.
