Ubisoft reveals that Assassin's Creed Shadows is being censored in Japan after CERO determined certain aspects of the game need to be adjusted.

The rating board for Japanese games, CERO, has forced Assassin's Creed Shadows to remove its dismemberment setting in the Japanese release.

Assassin's Creed Shadows simply calls a spade a spade. Syndicate isn't the only AC game that's tried to broaden our combat horizons. Ubisoft has been seeding the concept of a non-assassin Assassin's Creed hero for years now, permitting greater flexibility and choice with each new game.
