Codemasters have confirmed that their forthcoming Clive Barker's Jericho horror themed action game has been effectively banned in Germany, after being refused a rating by the USK ratings board.
"Codemasters has decided not to change the artistic vision of the renowned author and filmmaker Clive Barker through cuts and extensive changes", Codemasters spokesperson stated.
"Codemasters respects Mr Barker's creative ideas, despite the German distribution and marketing consequences for the title. Therefore, Codemasters will release the PC version of Clive Barker's Jericho in its original form on the 26th of October [23rd October for North America] for adult gamers and Clive Barker fans."
Aside from the controversial Manhunt 2, Germany banned several high profile games in recent years such as Gears of War and Dead Rising.
