Dispatch Has Found The Funniest Possible Way To Fix Its Switch Censorship

This article was originally published on link to post

Dispatch players on Switch consoles can grab a new “HR Violations Pack” patch for the game–one that spices things up by removing some of the game’s censorship. Available for US, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand players, the patch enables an option to see “breasts, butts, and birds (AKA, obscene gestures).”

Developer AdHoc has also provided alternative options for censoring content in the game, as the Switch version originally used intrusive black bars. Players can now apply a mosaic filter instead, or if you’re a John Cena fan, you can cover up characters with strategically placed jorts. According to the studio, certain “hard requirements” from Nintendo remain in effect, so seeing genitalia outright is still not happening, and certain erotic audio effects won’t be heard.

So what exactly happened to Dispatch when it was first released on Switch consoles? According to an explanation AdHoc gave GameSpot, it was pressed for time, and it made use of a single Switch build that complied “with Nintendo’s strictest regional rating,” resulting in heavy-handed censorship in the game.
