Dear Reader:
Eight-Minute Empire: Complete Edition removed from the Switch eShop in Europe due to a ratings issue, will return soon
Eight-Minute Empire: Complete Edition has been yanked from the Switch eShop in Europe due to a ratings issue. Don't worry, it'll be back once the problem is cleared up. You can see the developer's full statement on the situation below.
We’re sad to inform that Eight-Minute Empire has been temporarily removed from the Nintendo eShop in all European countries. This is because IARC deemed the Rating of the game in Russia to be 12+ (Contains Violence) as opposed to the previous 0+, and the rating jump of 2 stages results in immediate removal of the game from the store in a given region - in this case, Europe.
We will do our very best to bring Eight-Minute Empire back to the European stores as soon as possible.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Eight-Minute Empire is still available in other regions, as the Rating problem was specific to Russia, therefore the European region.
Those who have already bought the game will still have access to it just fine.
