Sometimes its censorship. Sometimes its unfortunate implications. And sometimes its straight-up unexplainable. But whatever the justification may be, games get renamed all the time when theyre released across different regions.
Lets look at ten particular cases of video game name changes:
Edited Title: Retitled to Canis Canem Edit in the United Kingdom.
The Reason? Bully, a game about high school life that was presumed prior to release to be all about, well, bullying, attracted a lot of controversy in both the U.S. and Europe. In the U.K., specifically, where Rockstar changed Bullys title to Canis Canem Edit, anti-bullying organizations campaigned against the games release, and even the countrys rating board came under fire for giving it a 15 rating.
Strangely, the games updated version for the 360 and the Wii, Bully: Scholarship Edition, was allowed to keep the Bully title when it came out two years later. It still caused controversy though.

Edited Title: Gryzor, then Probotector in Europe and Oceania.
