Looks like Japan and Germany has rekindled their epic partnership, with news that the Japanese version of Call of Duty: Black Ops will be subject to many of the edits seen in a country that’s far more fond of censoring things.Â
Japanese publisher Square Enix has apologized to consumers in advance of the game’s release, as it’s become apparently that Swastikas in the zombie mode are replaced with Iron Crosses, and “expressions of brutality” in a torture scene are also heading to the trashcan. The game will also feature no dismemberment.Â
