Did Sony strike a Black Fable: Wukong PS5 exclusivity deal with Recreation Science? That’s the query — one with conflicting solutions that has a bunch of identified insiders and journalists disputing one another’s claims. Some time again, a imprecise Microsoft assertion led folks to consider that Sony moneyhatted Black Fable: Wukong, however these strategies have been dismissed. Now, some journalists are saying that these rumors have been true.
How seemingly is it for Sony to have a secret Black Fable: Wukong PS5 exclusivity deal?
The unique report about potential moneyhatting got here previous to Black Fable: Wukong’s launch, and was primarily based on a press release by Microsoft that apparently alluded to it. Nonetheless, that suggestion was broadly dismissed as a result of: a. Sony could be shouting off the rooftops if it had an exclusivity deal, and b. Recreation Science stated it was optimizing the sport for Xbox Sequence X|S.
Final night time, Forbes’ contributor Paul Tassi claimed to have heard from a supply that Sony does actually have a deal in place to maintain Black Fable: Wukong off of Xbox consoles. IGN then claimed that it, too, has heard the identical from its personal supply. Shortly afterwards, journalist and insider Jeff Grubb, identified insider eXtas1s, and XboxEra’s Nick “Shpeshal Nick” Baker disputed these claims.
It’s believed that Sony helped with the sport’s PS5 port, which was someway misinterpreted as an exclusivity deal. We’re leaning in the direction of this rationalization as a result of Sony hasn’t actually marketed Black Fable: Wukong prefer it tends to advertise console exclusives, and given the sport’s recognition, a “secret” deal sounds a bit garbage.
