No Gears of War 2 release for Japan or Germany
Microsoft confirms title's absense in the two regions
Microsoft has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that Gears of War 2 will not see a release in either Germany or Japan.
It has been known for some time that Epic's upcoming highly-anticipated sequel would not pass through Germany's notoriously strict videogames censorship, considering the original title's failure to see a release in the region, however the news that it will not be released in Japan will come as a surprise to some.
This news comes after reports that Gears of War 2 is already being offered on torrent sites, well before its official release.
