Silent Hill f Gets Banned in Australia

Silent Hill f will not see the light of day in Australia, as the game has been slapped with a "Refused Classification" rating by the Australian Classification Board. This rating effectively bans the game from being released in the country.

The now-private publication post from the board offered scant details on the rationale behind this decision. According to the Australian Classification Board’s website, "Refused Classification (RC) refers to films, computer games, and publications that cannot be sold, hired, advertised, or legally imported in Australia." This classification is reserved for content deemed to be beyond generally-accepted community standards and unsuitable for even the R 18+ and X 18+ ratings.

In contrast, the ESRB in the United States has rated Silent Hill f as "Mature 17+," citing reasons such as blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity. The ESRB's rating summary highlights the game's frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks impaling the player, cutscenes with graphic gore, and more intense acts of violence, along with concept art featuring a nude mannequin.

The recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided fans with a glimpse into what to expect from Silent Hill f, suggesting that this entry may be one of the franchise's most gory and bloody games yet.
