All evidence points to CERO. They won’t throw CERO under the bus by saying it outright, but it’s pretty clear.
The Switch 2 version of Dispatch is a universal binary for all regions, meaning it has to comply with all regions’ guidelines. The JP PS5 version that just launched has the same censorship, the only difference is that PS5 has a separate international version.
And we know that separate versions is an option on Switch 2, Cyberpunk 2077 has a censored JP version, but for whatever reason AdHoc chose to have one universal version here.
Ultimately I think it just reflects very poorly on AdHoc that none of this was disclosed prior to release, allowing this shitstorm of finger-pointing to happen.

AdHoc absolutely deserves the beating they’re taking. Even if they had no way to prevent the censorship they should’ve announced this a long time ago.
