Update: IGN has learned that Injustice: Gods Among Us is no longer banned in the UAE. The news comes after much speculation behind why the game was banned in the first place. The game will supposedly hit retail stores as 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' and not as 'Injustice: The Mighty Among Us' as previously thought.

There is no word on if the game will be available in Kuwait or not. We have reached out for an official comment and will update this story as receive any information.

Original story as follows.

IGN ME has learned that Warner Bros'. latest brawler, Injustice: Gods Among Us has been banned in the UAE and Kuwait.

It is unclear as to why the game would be banned, although one could speculate that the inclusion of the word 'God' in the title might have something to do with it. The game was tentatively titled Injustice: The Mighty Among Us for regional marketing purposes, however the game might still be called 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' within the game itself.

ESRB has rated Injustice with a 'T for Teen', saying the game contains "blood, language, suggestive themes, violence" and some female characters depicted "in skintight outfits that expose moderate amounts of cleavage". Interestingly, the game features a level with a background sign depicting a "silhouette of a woman and the words “beautiful showgirls” and “Live nude.” The word “sh*t” and “bastard” can be heard in the dialogue."

We are waiting for word from official channels as to why the game was banned. We will update this story as and when we receivie more information.
