'We were not aware of the stereotypical connotations and wish to apologise to anyone who may have been offended by the character design,' the statement reads. Developers Neostream have responded on Facebook, noting that 'Racist stereotypes of any kind were absolutely not intended.'

Little Devil Inside is in development for PS5, PS4, and PC.Many on social media made note of this after the trailer debuted during June 11's 'The Future of Gaming' PS5 conference, with Twitter user Lord Balvin pointing out how 'tone deaf' the character design is due to its depiction of a tribal character with dreadlocks and large lips. If Sony does indeed have a PlayStation Showcase planned for September like many have speculated, we might see something there. If that is indeed the plan and Little Devil Inside hasn’t been delayed again, then it should be interesting to see when we get an official update on the game in the coming weeks and months.

According to the page, the game is targeting a Winter 2022 release. Twitter page routinely tracks the PlayStation Network database and updates made to it, and it seems an update for Little Devil Inside recently went up on the PSN backend. It seems, however, that we might get some information soon enough. Last year, Little Devil Inside received another new trailer, which gave the title a rough 2022 launch window, but again, updates on the game have completely dried up since then. We’ve been hearing about Neostream’s action-adventure title for eight years at this point, having first started its life as a Kickstarter project in 2016 and morphing into an upcoming timed-exclusive PlayStation indie with its re-reveal in 2020.
