Assassin's Creed Shadows censored in Japan to remove beheadings and limb amputation

The Japanese version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been hit by censorship restrictions from the country’s ratings board.

Eurogamer recently went hands-on with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which our Katharine described as the series’ “biggest shake-up of the series in years”.

In Japan, Ubisoft will now release a version of the game without the ability to behead your enemies or slice off their limbs.
