Game news Resident Evil Village – The censored Japanese version?
Resident Evil Village, Capcom’s next big production which will be featured in detail at the Resident Evil Showcase, has posted its news on its official Japanese website, but that’s not necessarily good news, unfortunately.
The Resident Evil saga is best known for its strange atmosphere and macabre aspect, and that’s why the series has always been banned for at least 18 years from its first opus. Thrill-seekers are waiting impatiently for the next installment of this emblematic license of the horror game, Resident Evil Village, which is expected on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series next May 7th. However, not everyone will be saturated with their hemoglobin effusions.
In a Resident Evil Village FAQ posted on the game’s official Japanese website, the publisher said there will be differences between the Japanese, American, and European versions of the game. More specifically, the Japanese version will be less violent than the other versions. In fact, according to the recommendations of the Japanese classification body CERO (Computer Entertainment Rating Organization), the title is split into two versions, CERO Z and CERO D, the first not recommended for at least 18 years and the second for at least 17 years. Japanese players who use the CERO D version will therefore not be spectators of the beheading scenes and will not have the joy of enjoying as much hemoglobin as western players.
This surprise is particularly surprising as we still remember the case of the very first Resident Evil, which, unlike the eighth work, was censored in our area. The introduction of the title has been changed to meet the classification criteria of European and American territory.
