Assassins Creed Shadows Gets Censored In Japan

Assassin's Creed Shadows will be censored in Japan due to its depiction of gore and has received a mature rating from the country's video game rating system.

According to Ubisoft Japan (translated by Automaton), depictions of dismemberment have been completely removed from the Japanese version of Assassin's Creed Shadows. Other versions of the game will still have the ability to to toggle the dismemberment feature on or off.

Assassin's Creed Shadows has also been rated CERO Z by Japan's video game rating system, which is the equivalent of North America's ESRB rating of M. The Japanese version will have some modified voice lines as well, but Ubisoft Japan didn't provide any additional explanation or details.
