UAE: Darksiders banned

MCV Staff 7th January 2010 Publishing

The United Arab Emirates has banned Darksiders from being released in its territories.

According to GamesLatest, THQ’s forthcoming action title has been banned because it contradicts with UAE’s customs and traditions.

God Of War and Grand Theft Auto suffered a similar fate in the UAE during recent years.

Darksiders, which hit UK shelves tomorrow, pits players as one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, battling demons across a ravaged Earth as he searches for those responsible for the world’s demise.
