Assassin's Creed Shadows will be censored in Japan due to its depiction of gore and has received a mature rating from the country's video game rating system.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is finally bringing the series to Japan, but the Japanese release of the game won't be the same one the rest of us are getting.

Ubisoft is going to reveal two hours of Assassin's Creed Shadows gameplay this Thursday on Twitch, the publisher has confirmed. A tweet announcing the livestream states viewers will see new footage from the Harima region as the game director pursues a high-ranking target, from the perspective of both Naoe and Yasuke.
