The new South Park game has swastikas in it. For the German version of the game, publishers Ubisoft said they were removing them, so as to comply with the nationâs constitution, which forbids displays of the Nazi symbol. OnlyâŠUbisoft might have screwed that up.
Users are posting on Steamâs forums that the German (and Austrian) versions of the game have been hit with an 11th-hour delay. The reason? That those versions contain âan unconstitutional symbolâ, and mean the gameâs release in those two markets is TBA.
ButâŠwasnât the swastika being removed?
Gameswelt says that, according to a source, Ubisoft printed the wrong version of the game for the German and Austrian market, and now need to go and print the right one. The one without stuff that breaks the law. That would certainly explain the mix-up.
Weâre asking Ubisoft whatâs up though, and will update if we hear back.
