Here is an overview of the game, via publisher PQube:

Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? Infinite Combate is set in a fantasy realm where gods have limited their divine powers in search of excitement and to experience the hardships of the lower world. To interact with humans, each deity has founded a Familia, which are groups that adventurers can join to socialize and support each other, before they set out into the dangerous labyrinth called Dungeon.

One of them is Bell Cranel, the young main character of DanMachi’s story. As the only follower of the Hestia Familia, he has it a bit harder than the others, but strives to improve himself!

The gameplay is an exciting mix between dungeon crawling with RPG elements and a visual novel-style story, including events from the first Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? anime season and new content! Apart from the extensive Story Mode, players will be able to test their skills in procedurally-generated Extra Dungeons and find out more about other characters during Date Events.

Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? Infinite Combate is available now for PlayStation 4, Switch, PS Vita, and PC via DMM Games in Japan, as well as for PlayStation 4 and Switch in Southeast Asia with English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese subtitles. The western release is due out for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam sometime in 2020.

Graphically the game looks terrible because of the chibi style. Gameplay could save it at least. Added the game to my wishlist.
Did anyone watch the anime this is based on? I wonder if it follows the anime or if it is a
new story?
It follows the first season (and maybe the spin off) from two different character perspectives with new content. Even if it was an all original story the dungeon crawling fits the overall vibe of the anime.

I thought OP was asking a question. I was expecting some deep converstation on how it's bad to pick up girls in dungeons in this game.
But it's a game title. Lol.

Will the western release be censored in any way?
Don't think that there is anything to censor. I have the (afaik) uncensored switch version and it is rated 12. Basically retells the anime story and is only worth it for real fans imo. Gameplay is a bit meh and animations few and far between.

Not sure if you've seen the game, but it looks like this:

I guess there are portraits of all the characters during story segments, but they seem to be mild to begin with. I don't think there's much to censor here.
