UPDATE : RegardingLittle Devil Inside ’s time PS5 exclusivity , Neostorm toldScreen Rantit had updated Kickstarter backers"the ripe we can under our current terms and will exhaust more detailed information as they become unlocked . “The troupe also post a statement toLittle Devil Inside ’s Facebookpage , apologizing for the anti-Semite character design and promising to   remove the dreadlocks and change the"bold lips"on the masks , the skin feel , and the"joint”-like dart blower designing . The original story follows .

piffling Devil Inside , a wizard indie military action game with visuals both humorous and persistent , stood out as one of the most impressive reveals of yesterday’sPlayStation 5game case , but its timed console exclusivity was an unwished surprisal to many of its five - year Kickstarter angel .   In the years take up to the   PS5 trailer , Little Devil Insidedeveloper Neostream only occasionally updated backer on the project ’s progression , and the secret plan ’s website still tell it ’s coming to Nintendo ’s defunct Wii U.

The South Korea - base developer launchedLittle Devil Inside ’s Kickstarter in 2015 , with a rough sack windowpane of Fall 2016 . More than 5,000 backer pledged $ 306,515 AUS by the clip the Kickstarter close in May 2015 , reaching all three of its stretch goals - admit a Wii U acquittance .   The team posted exploitation screenshots and video but slowed down updates around the end of 2017 , picking things back up again with more regular posts in 2020 .

TheLittle Devil Insidetrailer was the culmination ofNeostream’swork so far , debuted alongside major   first - partyPlayStation reveals likeHorizon Forbidden West , but it get with it a few sour points . The trailer announcedLittle Devil Inside ’s limited - time console exclusivity to PS5 and PS4 , and a concurrentKickstarterupdate made no mention of Xbox or Nintendo systems ( though it did clear up a simultaneous PC press release is still planned ) . Backers cursorily flood the stake ( and the Kickstarter page ’s generalCommentssection ) with doubt and complaints , asking for update on the other platform and requesting refunds .

The situation echoesShenmue 3 ’s Epic Games Store exclusivity , which also achieved Kickstarter support in 2015 , only to be announced as a time exclusive in mid-2019 . Although the developer has yet to comment on the subject , Neostream’swebsite does say backers will be able to re - confirm their favour platform before the plot ’s release . The problem for many backer is that Neostream has n’t sound out exactly what platformsLittle Devil Insidewill number out on , as there ’s been no mention of Xbox Series X or Nintendo Switch .

Little Devil Insidefaces more possible argument in response to one of the foe designs understand in its PS5 showcase trailer . Viewers like Twitter userMorbipointed out a fussy creature ’s masked , dreadlocks - wearing , dark - skin appearing plays off racist stereotype of sure African culture . This feels particularly dated and serious in a prison term when , despite extremely seeable polite rights movement in broader society , opprobrious people are still underrepresentedin video games and TV game development , and when even agame aboutSpider - Man ’s beloved Miles Moralesis a mere side - story whirl - off .
