Bliss Brain has delayed the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions of Princess Maker 2 Regeneration from its previously planned July 11 release date to August 8 due to content changes required to "comply with ethical standards." The Switch and PC (Steam) versions will still launch on July 11. And, like the Switch version, the PlayStation 5 version will still launch with a physical edition in Japan.

Here is an overview of the changes being made to the PlayStation versions:

The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of Princess Maker 2 Regeneration will undergo some specification changes in order to comply with ethical standards. These changes include:

• The removal of items that increase the daughter's bust size
• The removal of the endings "Marriage with Father" and "Marriage with Butler."

Due to these changes, the release date for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game has been moved to August 8, 2024. Bliss Brain apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
(The Switch and PC versions will not undergo any specification changes and the release date will remain unchanged.)

Meanwhile, the Butler:

 

[SidViscous]

Ok, I just discovered the butler is a cat. Case closed

 

[IAmRei]

......

 

[Magic Carpet]

I remember an old anime based on this game.

 

[feynoob]

Marriage with father

 

[Isa]

So Switch and PC it is then. Further cementing my decision for next "gen" paths I'll be going.

I'm not so sure that is something you should be celebrating in this case.

 

[SaturnSaturn]

These games are not for me, but if it passes CERO it should not need to be delayed to comply with sonys "ethical standards"

 

[Isa]

Just a statement about more things that have pushed me away from the big two systems, not celebrating anything. My girlfriend owns a couple of releases on Switch already. I've got no beef with the content, its just fiction.

 

[kanjobazooie]

• items that increase the daughter's bust size

What the fuck is this game about?

 

[SJRB]

Removal of the ending "Marriage with Father"

 

[nikolino840]

What the fuck is this game about?

 

[Mr Moose]

What are you doing, step-daughter?

 

[FewRope]

Marriage with what?

 

[Skifi28]

What the fuck is this game about?

 

[Physiognomonics]

There are people who censor "marriage with a butler" things?

 

[STARSBarry]

"The removal of items that increase the daughter's bust size"

Why even bother playing the game at this point? They literally just removed the plot.

 

[RoboFu]

Butler is a cat.

[ssringo]

Ok ok ok. I had to look it up because holy shit at a "Marriage with Father" ending.

So, you play as the "father" and the "princess" is given to you by the heavens at age 9 for you to raise. So at least she's not a biological daughter. Small victories!

That aside, the ending list is rather large. She can wind up as a judge, maid, queen, warrior, general, jester, mason and so on. There's some wild ones like a harlot, crime boss or bondage queen! Various marriage possibilities as well.

Seems like they just added everything they could work in.

 

[RoboFu]

Just like her bust size in your ending huh

 

[StereoVsn]

I am just surprised Nintendo doesn't care. Although eShop is kind of trash now so I guess they just let things fly now.

Edit: Also , wtf is wrong with this game … and why is the butler a cat?

 

[Windom Earle]

I feel like this game is borderline pdf file even with these changes. So either leave them in or ban the game completely.

 

[adamsapple]

Don't think I've ever played this, how relevant are these bust increasing items to the game, or are they mainly there for fan-service?

edit: maybe I might have played one of these on the PC but I don't recall.

 

[Stitch]

I wonder how different this will be from the old remake, Princess Maker 2 Refine

Well your daughter will have no tits on PlayStation, that's a confirmed change.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Fuck Sony

[Slothbeing1209]

" Marriage with father" is wild

 

[Dr.D00p]

Phew!!..Pc version on Steam is safe.

'Marriage with Gaben' still an option.

 

[Loomy]

These games are not for me, but if it passes CERO it should not need to be delayed to comply with sonys "ethical standards"

Platform holders still have a brand they care about protecting. Bliss Brain is under no obligation to publish on Playstation, and sony is not obligated to host their games just because the games exist.

 

[Sakura]

What the fuck is this game about?

You play as a famous hero who saved the kingdom in a fantasy medieval world.
One day you are tasked by the gods to raise a girl to adulthood.
The choices you make etc determine what kind of person she ends up becoming, with the sort of ultimate goal/best end of having her become a princess (hence the title of the game).

Not sure if this was auto correct or a meme but 'pdf file' is hilarious.

 

[jason10mm]

Now we are gonna hear about a bunch of shady forums with lots of requests for "does this computer come with Adobe acrobat pre-installed and ready for viewing pdfs?" conspiracy theories for how these guys code themselves on the internet

Pizza gate 2.0!

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

There's nothing ethical about monarchies.

 

[Haint]

How many pages was that Stellarblade costumes thread of Sony stans claiming it was all Shiftups decision and their real creative vision all along.

 

[Draugoth]

If you told me 15 yerars ago that Sony would become more family friendly than Nintendo i would have laughed at your face


This is what they are censoring btw:

 

[Kilau]

Ok, I just discovered the butler is a cat. Case closed

 

[FoxMcChief]

Fucking Japan.

 

[Sleepwalker]

What the fuck is this game lol "marriage with father"

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

If you told me 15 yerars ago that Sony would become more family friendly than Nintendo i would have laughed at your face


This is what they are censoring btw:

Let's not be mistaken, it's not about "family friendly". They have no problem with bear fucking or anal sex in AAA games, as long as it's not Asian.

It's called bigotry.

And I don't care about this particular case, which might be "reasonable" but lets not pretend that Sony censorship is equal to everyone, because it's not.

Yeah i know it, the only reason they didnt remove the Bear Sex is because it's very homossexual (aka: DEI friendly), anything that apepals to the "white male audience" is a big nono to Sony

 

[InterMusketeer]

Ethical standards? We can burn people alive, shoot them, cut them, rip out their spines and who knows what else, but marriage and big tits is where we draw the line?
