While the US got a confirmed released date for MadWorld some time ago, the UK has had to wait a bit for news.

MadWorld, Platinum Games’s ultra-violent brawler on the Wii, is definitely being created for a hardcore audience, something that producer Atsushi Inaba is hoping people will realise:

“The first main concept was to make a fun game. We wanted to make a game with impact, action and entertainment and also a game that is very different from the existing games on the console.

“In terms of the violence, we expected to have some criticism. But at the end of the day we are creating a game that is suitable only for a mature audience. Some people may take offence but you just can’t please everyone. I hope that gamers will appreciate the game as a form of entertainment and not focus on the irreverent violent content.

“The Wii is the most popular console in the world but there are not many games tailored to adult gamers, so we thought we’d be able to give this audience something the console has been missing.”

MadWorld releases in the UK on March 20th (a month from today). Catch a glimpse of what the game’s about with this uncensored trailer.
