<p>Video game censorship is arguably more of a <em>thing</em> nowadays than ever before. Even PlayStation’s creator Sony has come under fire in <a class="external" href="http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/11/sony_censorship_row_returns_as_mature_rated_switch_title_is_e_for_everyone_on_ps4">recent times</a> for censoring certain titles to varying degrees.</p>
<p>Common targets of censorship appear to be Japanese-made games featuring mature content and over-sexualised themes. It’s even got to the point where some games are now <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/dead_or_alive_xtreme_3_scarlet_wonrt_be_released_in_europe_or_north_america">completely skipping</a> a western release. Naturally, this has fans of certain types of video game experiences on edge, about what games will and won’t be localised, or if they’ll be censored upon localisation.</p>
<p>In the case of Arc System Work’s <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/03/kill_la_kill_if_is_bringing_its_3d_battle_action_to_switch_in_europe">upcoming</a> fighting game <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/kill_la_kill_if">Kill la Kill: IF</a></strong>, based on the popular anime starring a school girl named Ryuko Matoi, there’s no need to worry. In a reply to a fan <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/PQubeGames/status/1101448358240100352">on Twitter</a>, the game’s western publisher PQube confirmed the game would “be the same across all regions” and platforms. It also said how if anything changed, fans would be notified:</p>
<aside class="object object-tweet">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><span lang="en" dir="ltr">As far as we know, no content has been altered, and we plan on bringing the same version as Japan. Should anything change in the process, we will communicate it.</span>— PQube Games (@PQubeGames) <a href="https://twitter.com/PQubeGames/status/1101624328230240257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 1, 2019</a></p></blockquote>
</aside>
<p>The publisher confirmed this release would include dual audio as well, so you can listen to it in Japanese or English. Kill la Kill: IF arrives in both physical and digital form on the Switch later this year.</p>
