Nightmare Forge Games has changed the name of horror game Infestation 88 after speculation that the number in its title was a Neo-Nazi symbol.
Originally titled Infestation 88 and later stylised as ’88, the studio has now removed the number entirely from its name. The game, which had its debut trailer earlier this week after the original Steamboat Willie Disney cartoon entered the public domain, is now known as Infestation: Origins.
The studio has since stated the number 88 was originally chosen for its “symmetrical design” and insisted any connection with Neo-Nazi connotations was unintentional.
