A controversial PS2 exclusive from Sony may not be as dead we thought.

A controversial PS2 survival horror game from 2006 may be making its comeback soon.

Upon release, the game only garnered a 59 on Metacritic. This combined with weak sales to create essentially a flop, which may explain why Punchline closed after it. That said, the game's reputation was greater than this score suggests. Not only was it an exclusive from Sony, but it created a bit of moral panic. Most of this moral panic was in Europe, where it actually got banned from release in some cases. The most prominent example of this was the United Kingdom.

It's been a long time since Rule of Rose has been spoken about, but it has randomly popped back up in 2024. According to a well-known, fairly reliable industry insider, who specializes in reporting on horror games, market research has been done on a potential remaster or port of the game.
