Gori: Cuddly Carnage to be censored in Japan due to violence, devs donating blood in response

Gori: Cuddly Carnage is coming to Switch on Aug. 29th, 2024, and it’s bringing with it Gori, his deadly but wise-cracking sentient hoverboard, F.R.A.N.K, and morose A.I companion, CH1-P. Oh, it’s also packing in a ton of blood and guts as well, but not in Japan.

Developers Angry Demon Studio have announced that Gori: Cuddly Carnage will be censored in Japan, with blood being changed from red to purple, and some of the dead bodies will be removed. While most are likely looking forward to the insane amount of gore in Gori: Cuddly Carnage, the devs said if fans around the world would like them to include the censored content as an option, they’ll do so.

Along with the announcement of Japan’s release being censored, the Angry Demon Studio gang also pledged to donate blood to NHSBT Blood Donation services. The team decided to make this move due to them saving so much blood from the Japanese release. While they’re joking about the reason for the donations, their efforts to donate blood are very much real.

Last but not least, we also learned that a demo for Gori: Cuddly Carnage is coming sometime in August. The platforms this demo will be available on weren’t mentioned, so keep fingers and toes crossed for a Switch release.

In Gori: Cuddly Carnage, master explosive weaponry and devastating combos in an epic battle to prevent the Adorable Army from conquering the galaxy, and rescue Professor Y, their missing creator and only human who showed Gori and his friends love. Push your combat and platforming skills to the limits as you fight your way through twisted landscapes filled with environmental hazards, razor-sharp adult humour and a bone-crunching, pulse-pounding soundtrack.
