In the past week, a
Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer surfaced online that heavily featured Pooh and friends in a mini-game setting as well as one of Sora’s attacks. While the trailer seemed innocent enough, it was not suitable for Chinese audiences and press stills have
surfaced on Chinese gaming site A9VG.com with extremely obvious edits removing Winnie-The-Pooh from the image. It is also worth noting that some images of Pooh weren’t scrubbed, possibly suggesting that these edits were made outside of developer Square-Enix’s control.
Pooh Bear is too hot for China
While no official statement has been made by the games publisher and developer Square-Enix it's not too much of a stretch to believe that this version of Winnie-The-Pooh just might end up censored from the game in some capacity in order to appease the Chinese government. You can view the uncensored trailer below…unless you’re in China.
