This was confirmed Shinji Mikami and Goichi “Suda51” Suda In an interview with GAMESPARK. The game will be released in 2 versions, one Western and another JapaneseThe reason is simple: the remastering on consoles will have censorship in Japan at the request of the regulatory body ZERO due to the level of graphic violence it exposes.
This decision will not only affect console players who were hoping to experience the content of the original title, but also the studio, as it caused development to be extended.
For this reason, Suda51 invited all those who want to play the title without filters to buy it through Steamsince this version will be the same as the one in Westbecause it does not have to submit to the body ZERO.
