I hope the bolded it's the real issue.
The game, in its "original" form (which is the term the classification board uses when a game hasn't been modified for release), was rated here in Australia on November 6th and hasn't been resubmitted. Unless Techland employs a team of seers, there's no way that the events of this month had an affect on development.
?This reminds me of RE4 and 5 where they were geographically inspired, so 4 was controversial for it being primarily Spanish enemies and 5 for African and Arabic enemies.

Is the delay of physical copies just a ploy to push digital sales by the devs? I dunno but it surely feels like it.
Not sure about you guys but I like having an actual product that I can hold and resell.
If the digital sales are higher because of the "physical" delay, it will surely make publishers think about it. Imagine if they make a bonus out of it, you can have the game earlier in digital form.
Movies do it. They release two weeks 'early' on digital stores now.
But games can't yet because they need you to keep the actual stores you buy the consoles and accessories from happy and alive.
I know Sony or Microsoft have constraints because they need the retailers to sell their consoles. But what about the third parties?

People in the thread were questioning if there is controversy over the cultural depictions and violence in some territories. Similar issues were raised with RE 4 & 5.

Got an email from Amazon UK. Pretty much definitely delayed.
Stupid fucking decision.
and what about US physical copies not delayed?
Well damn. Most Swedish outlets has changed the release date to Feb. 24th.
Hmmm ... to buy digital or not.
