Assassin Creed Shadows is soon going to be released worldwide on 20th March 2025, and fans are eagerly waiting but recently it got into trouble in Japan and winded up in a big controversy.

The last Assassin’s Creed game was launched in 2020 which was Valhalla which was a decent game. The game’s free expansion, Claws of Awaji, and further details regarding Yasuke’s gameplay in comparison to previous protagonists have all been made public ahead of the debut. All of that is undoubtedly cause for celebration, but it seems that the game encountered a problem in securing a rating categorization. In particular, getting a categorization in Japan, the nation where the game is situated.

In contrast to the versions that will be accessible in non-Japanese nations, the Japanese version of Shadows has been subject to some degree of restriction, as was initially revealed by Eurogamer and then elaborated upon by GamesIndustry.biz.

There will be no dismemberment since the option to turn amputations on or off has been completely eliminated in a new edition created especially for Japan. According to CERO, which is the Japanese counterpart of Pegi or the ESRB, “amputating the neck and limbs of enemies during gameplay is now always impossible.”

Eurogamer also noted, that aside the modifications to how in-game violence will be displayed, “The representation of some Japanese voices played in the overseas version (North America and Europe) has been changed.” As of this writing, the nature of such adjustments has not been further explained. With a Z rating—the equivalent of a M for Mature or 18+—it is evident that the modifications have enabled the game to advance.
