Lately, a Nintendo Change recreation referred to as The Final Hope: Useless Zone Survival caught the web’s consideration, notably as a result of it appeared like a shoddy knock-off of The Final of Us. Effectively, it seems this poorly obtained title has now been pulled from Nintendo’s eShop.

In keeping with a report from Eurogamer, VG Video games’ open-world post-apocalyptic shooter is now not accessible on the storefront. In actual fact, making an attempt to go on to the obtain web page for The Final Hope will solely return an error. Looking for it received’t do any good both, proving that the Final of Us clone has all however been erased.

The report goes on to say that the sport’s removing was the results of Sony issuing a copyright strike, although on the time of writing, the PlayStation producer doesn’t seem to have made any assertion about this. It additionally seems as if trailers are being taken down, although you possibly can nonetheless discover some on YouTube, together with gameplay footage.

Even the developer doesn’t acknowledge the sport

For many who haven’t seen it, The Final Hope unashamedly takes inspiration from Naughty Canine’s critically acclaimed collection. Proof of this may be seen within the younger lady who’s just about the spitting picture of Ellie.

In keeping with Wikipedia, the sport’s plot follows Jason Lee (no, not that one), who’s been “despatched to the long run as a part of a governmental investigation on an inevitable zombie outbreak.” Alongside the way in which, he occurs upon a younger Eva (or presumably Eve) who must be escorted throughout town. Digital Foundry reviewed the sport a few weeks in the past, deeming it “one of many worst” releases they’d ever performed.

As for the studio itself, it doesn’t seem as if there’s any hint of its recreation on the developer web site or any of its social media channels, save for perhaps one promotional picture. There’s definitely nothing to counsel The Final Hope was entrance and heart in any case.

It’s straightforward to invest why VG Video games could have been quiet about this recreation within the first place, or why all traces of it are being rapidly scrubbed from the web. No feedback have been produced from Nintendo, Sony, nor VG Video games as of this writing, but it surely definitely is an oddity.
