PlayStation’s Tweet Sparks Speculation of SHIB-Themed Game
• PlayStation’s tweet mentioning Shiba Inu sparked speculation of a SHIB-themed game, but it is likely that the reference was only to the dog breed.
• The new trailer features an opening sequence of a Shiba Inu moving through hordes of people in colorful clothing.
• There has been little reaction from the SHIB price, as speculation of a SHIB-themed game seems far-fetched and lack credibility.
PlayStation Reference to Shiba Inu
The official PlayStation account on Twitter shared a new trailer for an upcoming puzzle game titled “Humanity” yesterday, mentioning Shiba Inu. This sparked speculation among members of the SHIB army that Sony was planning to launch a SHIB-themed game, which would be incredibly big news for the cryptocurrency if true.
No Affiliation with SHIB?
Upon closer inspection, however, it appears that there is no affiliation with SHIB after all. While the PlayStation Twitter account wrote that users could play as Shiba Inu, this likely refers exclusively to the dog breed which will serve as a character in the new video game – background information can be found on its website.
Trailer Features Opening Sequence
The new trailer features an opening sequence of a Shiba Inu moving through hordes of people in colorful clothing. Thus, even though a Shiba Inu will be playing a starring role in the game, it can be (almost) ruled out that PlayStation is planning to launch a SHIB-themed game.
SHIB Price Unaffected
Remarkably, despite some excitement within the SHIB community at the prospect of Sony launching such a cryptocurrency-related video game title, there has been little reaction from the SHIB price itself – signaling that speculation around this rumor is far-fetched and lacks credibility. Within 24 hours of PlayStation’s tweet about Shiba Inu being posted online, SHIB had fallen by 1.7%. Just before editorial deadline time it had increased by only 0.1%.
Conclusion
Despite some excitement within the cryptocurrency community when Sony mentioned Shiba Inu on its official Twitter page, further inspection reveals that there is no actual affiliation with cryptocurrency or blockchain technology – instead referencing solely to the dog breed which will star in its upcoming video game title “Humanity”. As such any rumors or excitement regarding Sony launching a crypto video game have been proven unfounded and this has been reflected by very little reaction fromthe price ofSHIBCryptocurrency itself
