Silent Hill f Gets Banned in Australia

Silent Hill f will not be released in Australia following its "Refused Classification" rating by the Australian Classification Board. This rating effectively bans the game from being sold, hired, advertised, or legally imported in the country. The now-private publication post provided little to no detail on why the game received this rating, leaving many to speculate on the reasons behind such a decision.

According to the Australian Classification Board 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 materials containing "content that is outside generally-accepted community standards and exceeds what can be included in the R 18+ and X 18+ ratings."

In contrast, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) in the United States gave Silent Hill f a "Mature 17+" rating, citing the presence of blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity. The ESRB's rating summary highlights several elements that contributed to this rating, including frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks impaling the player, cutscenes depicting gore, and concept art featuring a nude mannequin.

The recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 offered fans a glimpse into what to expect from Silent Hill f. Given the ratings it has received, it appears that the franchise is set to deliver one of its most graphic and intense experiences yet.
