Silent Hill f Gets Banned in Australia

Silent Hill f will not be released in Australia due to its rating by the Australian Classification Board. The board assigned Silent Hill f a "Refused Classification" rating, effectively banning the game from the country. This decision has left many fans puzzled and seeking more information.

Although the now-private publication post provided little detail on the reasons for this rating, the Australian Classification Board's website clarifies that "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 outside generally-accepted community standards and exceeding what is permissible under the R 18+ and X 18+ ratings.

In contrast, the ESRB in the United States gave Silent Hill f a "Mature 17+" rating, citing blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity as reasons. The ESRB's rating summary highlights several specific elements contributing to this rating, including frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks that impale the player, cutscenes depicting gore, and concept art showing a nude mannequin.

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