One of the biggest releases this week is the PS3-exclusive Heavy Rain. Gamers in the United Arab Emirates won’t be seeing an official release, though, as apparently it’s been banned over there.

 

MEGamers reports that the UAE’s National Media Council has declared Quantic Dream’s ambitious release as unfit for consumption by gamers in the region. While no official reason for the ban has been stated, MEGamers speculates that Heavy Rain‘s seduction scene may have something to do with it.

 

Heavy Rain is the second game to be banned in the UAE this year, following THQ’s Darksiders. Still, just because there’s no official release doesn’t mean gamers in the region won’t get to play it, as MEGamers points out.
