What Was Changed

  • 65 English voice lines (scripted dialogue and combat callouts): the flagged word is silenced while the rest of the line plays at normal volume.
  • 25 short marine combat callouts: each clip that contained the F-word, B-word, A-word, or religious oaths is silenced in full, because the game's audio codec doesn't allow a mid-word edit without re-encoding to a format the game can't play.
  • 18 cutscene profanity spans across 12 event cutscenes: a narrow, roughly one-second silence is placed around each flagged word, and the surrounding dialogue plays normally.
  • 108 mute points in total. Music, sound effects, and ambient audio are untouched, and clip lengths are preserved so timing is unchanged.

What Was NOT Changed

The story, voice performances, music, sound effects, and gameplay are exactly as Platinum Games shipped them — only the flagged English words change. Non-English audio (Japanese, French, German, Italian, Spanish) is left alone. On-screen subtitle text is not changed: Vanquish stores it in proprietary container files this release does not modify, so with subtitles on a flagged word can still appear on screen even when the audio is silent — playing with subtitles off is recommended. Saves and achievements are not affected.
