- Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be censored in Japan because of the country’s assessment board
- The Japanese version does not have an opportunity to turn on amputation on
- Ubisoft confirms the ability to cut the neck and limbs of enemies will also be “impossible”
The Japanese version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be censored because of its violent content when the game is released on March 20th.
The message comes from a statement shared to Ubisoft’s Japanese X / Twitter account where the company confirmed that the next Assassin’s Creed The entrance does not contain decapitations or degradation due to Japan’s rating board.
“As for differences in content between overseas (North America, Europe) and Japanese versions of Assassin’s Creed: ShadowsThe version sold in Japan of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows (Cero: Z) will have some differences in content in the game to comply with the rules of the certification organization, “Ubisoft said.
“The possibility of turning on amputation to/from the game settings has been removed and amputation of the enemies’ neck and limbs during gameplay is now always impossible.”
Ubisoft also noted that it has changed the “amputated surface of the body” and that “the representation of some Japanese voices played in the overseas version (North America and Europe) adjustment.
This kind of censorship is not uncommon in Japan. Many popular titles such as The Witcher 3: Wild HuntAt The last of usAt Until dawnAnd more has seen the reduction in the past and sometimes the complete removal, of violence, gore and nudity because of the country’s rules, so it’s not a surprise that Assassin’s Creed Shadows would receive the same treatment.
