The Last of Us Part 2 reportedly banned in the Middle East

PlayStation adventure The Last of Us Part 2 seems to have been blocked from release in multiple Middle Eastern countries.
The game is due to launch globally on June 19, but currently does not appear among the listings for the Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates versions of the PlayStation Store.
You can still buy dynamic themes and avatars based on the game, and the PlayStation Arabia Twitter account is still promoting tomorrow's State of Play broadcast, which will go into more detail about the title.
One Reddit user, spotted by VG247, reports that PlayStation Support said any game that does not appear in a regional store has been "banned by the competent authorities of the country and we can not do anything regarding that."
