Sony has pulled an interview featuring Neil Druckmann and has issued an apology

Recently, Sony took down an interview with Neil Druckmann due to "multiple significant errors and inaccuracies" and later issued an apology.

The official interview link now features a statement explaining that a review led to this decision.

"Upon review, we've identified several critical inaccuracies that do not accurately represent Neil’s views and values, particularly in areas such as animation, writing, technology, AI, and future projects," the statement says.

"We apologize to Neil for the misrepresentation and any negative repercussions it may have caused him and his team. The interview has been removed in coordination with Naughty Dog and SIE."

During the interview, which was conducted as part of a Sony corporate strategy session, Druckmann was quoted saying that Naughty Dog's upcoming game "could change mainstream perspectives on gaming."

Druckmann addressed the situation on social media, clarifying that his remarks were misrepresented.

"In the editing process of my recent interview with Sony, some of my responses lost their original context and meaning," he explained, posting a screenshot of his unedited answer for reference.
