“Assassin’s Creed: Viking Age” unlocked in Asia, accidentally blew up the battle between Ubisoft and CERO in Japan | 4Gamers

Ubisoft announced today that “Assassin’s Creed: Viking Era” will release a revised file soon. After downloading the update, Taiwanese players can choose to reset the performance level of the special effects related to violence / blood. The announcement was also spread to many Asian countries at the same time, making players very happy.

Ubisoft’s first reason was for Japan ranking, so Asia had to put up with it together. Today, while Asian players are enthusiastic and praise Ubisoft for knowing that it can correct its mistakes, the news has also spread to Japan, which has directly blown the anger of Japanese players, because this time the purpose of the unlock is in Asia. except in Japan. Japan is now. It became the only “castrated version”.

Therefore, Japan’s Ubisoft posted an urgent announcement on its official website, stating that it was informed that the on-screen performance of “Assassin’s Creed: Viking Era” may be difficult to market in Japan when it was first subjected to. revision. Therefore, Ubisoft has modified some bloody expressions and images and produced a version of the game that meets Japanese censorship standards, so that it can be successfully listed, which is the version previously played by Asian PS players. The team is now working hard to fix small and big bugs in the game.

Translated into vernacular, it means: “We were also forced by others, so we had to send a castrated version.”

Ubisoft did not specify who made these comments in the announcement, but the first thing ordinary players think about must be the Japanese legal entity “CERO” which is responsible for reviewing the game’s ratings. Because CERO has had similar cases in the past that made Japan different from other countries (such as “Evil Spirit Castle”, “Ninja Gaiden” series).

Then the fire started to burn from Ubisoft to CERO, but this time CERO rarely posted an ad on the official site naming the surname, saying that in response to Ubisoft’s announcement today, the agency never discussed and contacted CERO about these arguments, and the wording is pretty strong. . So the Japanese villagers took the CERO announcement and started questioning Ubisoft.

Ubisoft just added an announcement. It seems they no longer want to raise the issue (after all, they will be sad after the problem). They lower their heads and admit that this is a problem within their own company. I’m sorry to everyone and will investigate this soon. We will announce again.
