The newest dark chapter in the Death end re;Quest series is here, and the stakes are just as high as fans would hope.
Death end re;quest: Code Z changes things up, as it’s now a roguelike JRPG.
Roguelike RPG Death end re;Quest Code Z will launch for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on May 13 in the west, publisher Idea Factory International announced. While the physical edition will be available on the same date in North America, it will not be available in Europe until June 27.
Nice. I own the first 2 on PS4 but I’ll go PS5 this time now that there is an option
The Switch versions of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation, and Death end re;Quest: Code Z will no longer be released in the west due to the contents “not complying with the Nintendo Guidelines,” publisher Idea Factory International announced.
Weird. Nintendo was recently better than Playstation for these releases coming out. Plus there's been games in these series released on the Switch. How are these releasing on Playstation and not Nintendo?!
Recent policy changes within Nintendo of America and Europe. They're stricter than Playstation now. This month alone, they've blocked 3 games from launching in the west.
You know that's literally insane. There's already multiple games for both series already out previously so to not release the other games in the series makes no sense
They did not mention with which guidelines the games do not comply. Hopefully it is not an attempt at censorship.
It is.
There's a game called REDNEG ALLSTARS which is also canceled in the west by Nintendo due to "expresion restrictions"
Another developer has mentionted that Nintendo America has stricter guidelines now.
It's an issue only related to the west, so it's pretty clear it's some kind of censorship that the devs didn't agree with, anything else would stop the release everywhere else, Nintendo can't do anything right lately.
