Last week, publisher Xseed Games announced that Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal’s December release will be delayed while the company removes some of the sexual content from the PS4 version of the game. They cite “the wishes of the platform holder,” suggesting the removal is due to a changing stance on sexual content on Sony’s part.
This may sound like a meh thing to many, but does this mean that Sony is cutting down on adult content?
“The release of Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal will be slightly delayed as we remaster to remove the interactive ‘Intimacy Mode’ from the PS4 version,” the company wrote in a statement published on Twitter. In a follow-up tweet it added, “We respect the wishes of the platform holder,” which could suggest Sony requested the changes. Re:Newal is a 3D remaster of the side-scrolling beat-em up for the 3DS of the same name. Players fight as scantily-clad girl ninjas, and they can also dress up their characters and, in the game’s Intimacy Mode, grope them. Xseed called the game’s new Burst mode “a voluptuous visual feast” in a press release earlier this year.
