Dead Rising 3 won’t be released in Germany

Looks like zombie slaying won't be coming to the Xbox One, at least not in Germany. According to Gameswelt.de, the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons (Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien) has deemed the game unfit for the German market, and has stated that the title won't be sold for the Xbox One when it releases.

Original text:

Die Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien (BPjM) hat sich kürzlich besorgt hinsichtlich Dead Rising 3 ausgesprochen. Dies erschwert zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt eine benötigte Kennzeichnung, um mit der Produktion des Spiels für den deutschen Markt zu beginnen.

Aus diesem Grund wird der Titel nicht zur Veröffentlichung der Konsole am 22.11. erscheinen. Die genauen Gründe, warum dem Zombiespiel eine Alterskennzeichnung verwehrt wurde, sind nicht bekannt. Vermutlich hängt es aber mit der expliziten Gewaltdarstellung zusammen, doch auch die Historie der Spiele-Serie scheint eine nicht unbedeutende Rolle zu spielen. Microsoft könne keine Einzelheiten zu dem Prozess preisgeben.

Seeing as how that's one of three Xbox One exclusives that's part of the Day One Edition line, that's definitely disappointing news.
