Agony.

Store page for unrated version popped up on Steam. Note that you have to be logged in to see it due to Steam's new age gate features. Looks like they want people to pay for it again instead of just updating the original.

According to their previous post about this, they are going to try to discount it heavily (like 99% off) for current owners. Supposedly they had to re-release it this way to be able to get around whatever censorship rules there were.

I guess we'll see what they end up doing.

Rome Total War 2 had to do this as well with the blood DLC. It has to be listed as a seperate SKU/whatever to not impact the ESRB rating on the core product.
 
Backers get it for free. Everyone else gets a 90% discount. I'll post the note little bit later
 
So it looks like a pretty substantial amount of changes/improvements, so much that I would expect them to be patched in the regular game, so the unrated version should differ with the unrated content. But who knows. Its a strange company but they have always been active with the updates, so I don't feel bad about them,

It's time to end up joking. Agony UNRATED will be released on this Halloween, and it will be free for our backers!

Madmind Studio would like to inform you that today we have finished work on the uncensored version of Agony. Agony UNRATED will make its debut this Halloween, 31st October. We are aware that the premiere of our first game was disappointing for many players, as numerous technical errors and censored content effectively distracted from the game. We would like to apologize for the mistakes we made and to compensate players for a long time waiting for the UNRATED version, making it available at a significantly lower price. Agony UNRATED will be released on the STEAM platform, at the price of 14.99$/14.99€/49.99PLN. Players who already have regular Agony in their Steam library will receive a 90% discount on the UNRATED version. UNRATED agony will be made available for free on 29th October for all Agony Kickstarter backers.

Legal statement

Unfortunately, but the contracts we have in force, both publishing and rating, blocked us from releasing the patch and removing the censorship from the game. Any lawsuit related to the violation of these rules would most likely lead to the closure of our studio. To release Agony Unrated, we had to choose an alternative route and remain in the shadows by announcing the suspension of our work on the game. Today, after a few months since the release of Agony, the deadline for contracts binding us has passed and we can share these details with you. At the moment, the PC is the only platform that gives us the freedom to create the world we've come up with. This, unfortunately, means Agony Unrated can never appear as a Digital Edition on consoles. If players and reviewers positively receive Agony Unrated, we will try to get a contract with the publisher who will agree to issue a limited number of copies of the boxed game, both on PS4 and Xbox One. The release of the game in a box version is the only option for the production with the "Adult Only" age rating to appear on consoles.

Agony: Nintendo Switch

We would like to inform that thanks to establishing cooperation with our colleagues from Ultimate Games, Agony will also be released in the Nintendo Switch version. The premiere is planned for the end of 2018.

Wonder if the volumetric lighting can help make up for lower res textures, if anyone knows. Maybe later they'll release a high res pack. The new paths are something I'd play this for, which sounds like areas opened up on the edges of existing maps for example. Or being able to delve further in to caves.
