The latest trailer for Project Eve<\/em> was shown during the PlayStation Showcase 2021 on September 9, and it seems like the PS5 consoles were given to employees on that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the released photos, we can see a large number of PS5 consoles being brought into Shift Up\u2019s office and a floor with a PS5 on each of the staff’s chairs. The office floor looks empty, so perhaps the company brought in the consoles while no one was at work yet and gave them to the employees as a surprise gift. Kim Hyung Tae, the CEO of the studio also sent a special thank you email to employees, thanking them for their hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kim Hyung Tae handled the character designs for Magna Carta: Crimson Stigmata <\/em>and DESTINY CHILD<\/em>. He is currently directing Shift Up\u2019s upcoming title Project Eve<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Shift Up, the company gave PS5s in response to the official announcement of the PS5 release of Project Eve<\/em>, so that all the staff members can play the game when it comes out. That\u2019s quite generous considering the price of PS5. In Korea, PS5 is sold for 628,000 won (approx. $540 USD). Getting 260 PS5s would cost over $130,000 USD.

MiHoYo, the developers of Genshin Impact, held their annual employee meeting where they gave away a bunch of electronics to employees in a lottery. Essentially a thank you for the successful year the company had.
