South Park: The Stick of Truth to be censored in EMEA

According to IGN.com, Ubisoft has put out a press release that EMEA regions of the world (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) will see censored versions of South Park: The Stick of Truth. This of course follows Australia not dishing out a rating for the game due to an anal probe scene in the game. 

According to the article:

The censored scenes include a mini-game in which a doctor is performing an abortion on the player, another mini-game in which the player performs an abortion on Randy, and five anal probing scenes involving someone being actively probed. The scenes will apparently play out as normal before and after the probing, and each censored scene is “replaced by an image background and a description text selected by [South Park creators] Matt and Trey,” according to Ubisoft.

The image replacement sounds rather hysterical, but I’m sure that there will be a lot of pissed off players out there who just spent their hard-earned money to purchase a game, knowing what to expect, only to get a censored copy.
