Players of the game appear to find that it provides a challenging and worthwhile experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when the PS4\/PS5 version was released on the PlayStation Store, the price was higher than intended.

When CyberConnect2 released <em>Fuga: Melodies of Steel<\/em> in July 2021, it was discovered that the price listed on the PS Store was incorrect. The game was temporarily removed from sale, and it took around two weeks before players could once again purchase the game. When giving a talk at the CEDEC+KYUSHU 2021 developer conference, the CEO of CyberConnect2, Hiroshi Matsuyama, spoke about the error. He explained that it was their first self-published title and there was some confusion that occurred regarding the release process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Due to incorrect price listings, we have decided to temporarily close the PS4\u00ae\/PS5\u00ae stores for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FugaMelodiesOfSteel?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FugaMelodiesOfSteel<\/a>.<br><br>We are sorry for the trouble caused on what was supposed to be an joyous day for everyone.<br><br>Please stay tuned for further announcements.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Fuga?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Fuga<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sSmiu7CMOp\">pic.twitter.com\/sSmiu7CMOp<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fuga: Melodies of Steel &#8211; Official (@Fuga_CC2_en) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Fuga_CC2_en\/status\/1420627060389662726?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 29, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ANNOUNCEMENT: PS4\u00ae\/PS5\u2122 Stores for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FugaMelodiesOfSteel?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FugaMelodiesOfSteel<\/a> are NOW OPEN!<br><br>Thank you and apologies to everyone for keeping you all waiting for this!<br><br>Click here to purchase!<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X60EnF1Kqz\">https:\/\/t.co\/X60EnF1Kqz<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E6%88%A6%E5%A0%B4%E3%81%AE%E3%83%95%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u6226\u5834\u306e\u30d5\u30fc\u30ac<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Fuga?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Fuga<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tuwUeriqUm\">pic.twitter.com\/tuwUeriqUm<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fuga: Melodies of Steel &#8211; Official (@Fuga_CC2_en) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Fuga_CC2_en\/status\/1424945542849699844?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 10, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sales of <em>Lost Epic<\/em> on the PS Store have resumed and players are now able to purchase the game at the correct price.
