Dying Light: The Beast has been censored in Japan

Unfortunately, Japanese players will have to do without certain aspects of the Western version of Dying Light: The Beast. Techland's title has been censored in Japan in order to obtain a CERO Z rating (meaning it is prohibited for those under 18).

As a result, violence has been toned down throughout the game. For example, the visible internal organs of zombies have been removed and the appearance of several female zombies has been modified. We can also note the removal of dismembered faces and torsos, as well as the removal of all forms of nudity.

These changes also affect the Steam version, which does not need to be approved by CERO in order to be released in Japan.
