Rule of Rose

Cancelled releases

The UK version was supposed to be released on 24th November 2006, but on that day publisher 505 GameStreet announced to have cancelled the game due to several European politicians lashing the game's obscene cruelty and brutality. For other European countries, the ratings boards PEGI and the Interactive Software and Video Standards Council still judged the title suitable for release, however. Three days later distributor Red Ant Enterprises Pty Ltd. confirmed the game was cancelled in Australia and New Zealand as well. It was scheduled for a February 2007 release there.
