Censorship Dispute

While no console manufacturer objected to the content, the Japanese rating board's decision has postponed the PlayStation release in Japan. However, the PC version remains fully uncensored and will launch as planned.

An uncensored Xbox release is also on the way, with a date yet to be announced.

Release Schedule

PC & PS5 (Uncensored) – March 27, 2025
Xbox (Uncensored) – Release Date TBA

The Japanese PlayStation version will still be released at a later date, pending adjustments to comply with rating regulations.

Censorship in Gaming

As game developers continue to push creative boundaries, censorship remains a recurring debate. With PC platforms allowing unrestricted content, console releases are often subject to additional scrutiny depending on regional guidelines.
