Far Cry 4<\/a> players on Steam were surprised to find a prominent nude scene in the game censored on April 3, but Ubisoft has already rolled back what one spokesperson is calling \u201cunintended changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The issue was first brought to light on Reddit, where a user of the official Far Cry subreddit shared a screenshot<\/a> of a normally bare-chested, female NPC in Far Cry 4 wearing significantly more clothing. The post\u2019s confusion as to why Ubisoft would decide to censor the game more than 10 years post-release was followed by a separate comment<\/a>, further noting the inclusion of a loincloth placed over protagonist Ajay\u2019s crotch in a brief scene where he previously hung dong.<\/p>\n

While folks were quick to blame Ubisoft\u2019s recent $1.3 billion investment<\/a> from Chinese conglomerate Tencent for the change due to the country\u2019s heavy-handed censorship policies<\/a>, it turns out the whole thing was one big mistake. Ubisoft community developer Patricia Brochu-Gagn\u00e9 braved the increasingly hostile Reddit thread to explain as much on April 4, saying that a recent update accidentally added existing content from the nudity-free Japanese version of the game to the worldwide version.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team has already resolved the issue by re-uploading the correct data to the [worldwide] depot on Steam,\u201d Brochu-Gagn\u00e9 said, adding that Ubisoft has no plans to censor Far Cry. \u201cThis was simply an error tied to a specific regional build, and it\u2019s now been corrected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ubisoft has lately become something of a punching bag among too-online gamers due to, in part, including a Black man<\/a> as one of the playable characters in Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/a>. Some still<\/a> believe<\/a> this short-lived moment of censorship was intentional and was only walked back after the backlash. In any case, we can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing Far Cry 4\u2019s nudity has been restored and is just as gratuitous as it always was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Far Cry 4 players on Steam were surprised to find a prominent nude scene in the game censored…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2550,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[1583,12,546,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-2549","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-gaming","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-pc","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114282623350196295","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2549\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
