Animal Crossing Lookalike 'Anime Village Online' Listed on PlayStation Store

The lookalike prompts renewed questions over PlayStation Store moderation following a similar takedown earlier this year.

Overview

  • Reddit user YellowFlower69 flagged the PlayStation Store page, which remained publicly visible at the time of reporting.
  • The listing names Wisnu Sudirman as developer and targets a 2027 release, according to the store page.
  • The key art and promotional text closely resemble Animal Crossing, while no in‑game screenshots have been provided.
  • In January, a related case titled 'Anime Life Sim' was removed after reporting tied its images to a CozyLife Unreal Engine template.
  • Coverage notes a recurring influx of low‑quality or derivative listings across major storefronts, with observers anticipating possible removal or legal action, though none has been announced.
