Recently, we published a news about the ban of the game Black Ops 6 in Kuwait, where it did not receive approval in Kuwait, and it was said that refunds were issued to anyone who had pre-ordered it in Kuwait.
At that time, there was no specific reason given for the game not being allowed in Kuwait, but some speculated that it may be due to certain aspects of the story that might involve the invasion of Iraq into Kuwait.
Today, the account @aldaejam shared news that he obtained from his sources about the possible reasons for banning the game in Kuwait. He mentioned that the ban on Black Ops 6 was confirmed in Kuwait after the relevant authorities reviewed the story mode. The regulatory authorities objected to the portrayal of certain characters, such as the heroic depiction of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, as well as the representation of characters in a manner deemed inappropriate by the Kuwaiti side.
There was also discontent with the presence of scenes depicting the burning of Kuwaiti oil fields during the Iraq-Kuwait war. Sources say that Activision met with Kuwaiti authorities and requested a meeting to discuss modifications that could be made to the game to allow its release there, but the Kuwaiti side did not respond favorably.
Moreover, the team at @CallofDutyARA quickly commented on the news of the game ban, expressing hope that the game would receive approval and be released for players in Kuwait.
Please note that Black Ops 6 has not received official approval from the relevant authorities in Kuwait yet, so the game will not be available on its scheduled release date on October 25th.
As a result, all pre-orders for the game in Kuwait will be canceled. We still hope for the release of Black Ops 6 in Kuwait, and that the authorities will agree to make the game available for players to enjoy the new and exciting Black Ops 6 experience.
