than the one that shipped with the title. According to a ''Eurogamer'' (2018) report, the scene in question depicted the game's protagonist, Lincoln Clay, killing a police officer and murdering numerous others. "We went back at the eleventh hour and added a cold-open to the game that was a really violent prologue which basically shows Lincoln and a couple of his friends getting ambushed by the mob," the game's director, Haden Blackman, said. "It's super-violent and Lincoln has to resort to violence to escape. However, Blackman said, "it felt exploitative...so we ended up cutting it," despite having championed its "sensitive" subject matter: race, police brutality, and crime. The section was so violent, so "controversial" and "shocking", that Hangar 13 even erased it from its servers. It no longer exists.
