'In the case of Fallout 3 the request for de-listing was granted even though only seven years passed since the game was banned,' the BPjM said in a statement.
It was banned from sale the previous year in Australia over drug references.Īccording to IGN Germany, Bethesda appealed to the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Minors (BPjM) in order for the uncensored game to be de-listed before the ten-year statutory sentence expired. The game was banned in the country in 2009 for violent content before a censored version was offered (thank you Bluedanger922).
This has led many to believe it's Bethesda's way of prepping for an HD re-release. An 'uncensored' Fallout 3 will soon be made available in Germany after a seven-year ban in the country.
