While the BPjM's statement is rather anti-climactic, it wasn't as if publisher and developer Bethesda didn't put up an arduous campaign to get Fallout 3 unbanned in the country. The Big Council decided at its meeting on 4 February that Fallout 3 will be removed from the list because its content is no longer classified as harmful to minors from today's perspective." "In the case of Fallout 3, the request for delisting was granted even though only seven years passed since the game was banned.
Regarding the decision behind the BPjM's removal of the shooter RPG from its list of banned games, though, a member of the group explained: Now, however, as IGN Germany has reported, with just three years left before the end of the statutory ten-year sentence for its banning, it seems as if the development studio "initiated a difficult and rarely-successful trial" with the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Minors (BPjM) in order to get Fallout 3delisted.īethesda has said in a statement that it will disclose the reason behind why it put so much effort into getting Fallout 3 unbanned in Germany "in a couple of weeks," which suggests that the studio may have plans of putting out some sort of re-released version of the game for current generation consoles. Germany officially lifts its ban on Fallout 3, which could mean that Bethesda is working on putting out a re-release of the popular post-apocalyptic RPG.įor those not in the know, Germany originally banned Bethesda's Fallout 3 in 2009 due to its overly violent content, and eventually ended up offering gaming fans in the country a censored version of the open world title.
