As Kotaku previously reported, the Japanese versionās most recent trailer now features a warning that this game is a work of fiction, yet still depict North Korean flags, as does the Japanese box art. Kotaku contacted Spike to confirm whether the Korean flags will remain in the game, but did not receive an answer regarding this issue. However, today Kotaku Japan attended a briefing in Tokyo that outlined the changes in the Japanese version of Homefront.

Thus, in the opening cinematic trailer, Kim Jong-ilās name and likeness are stricken. However, his image and name do appear in the game. North Korean flags also continue to appear in the game. The other tweak is the name of some Achievements and Trophies. The gameās Japanese publisher has been listening to fans and is trying to stay true to the game, which has political content that could be considered risky in Japan. But besides these tweaks, the gameās actual content, Kotaku Japan says, is āexceedingly closeā.
