Silent Hill f Banned in Australia With “Refused Classification” Rating

Silent Hill f will not see a release in Australia due to its rating by the Australian Classification Board. The game was given a "Refused Classification" rating, which effectively bans it from being sold, hired, advertised, or legally imported into the country.

The now-private publication post that initially announced this rating provided little to no detail on the reasons behind the decision. However, the Australian Classification Board's website explains 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 applied to 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 ESRB rated Silent Hill f as "Mature 17+," citing blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity as the reasons for this rating. The ESRB's rating summary highlighted several elements contributing to this classification, including frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks that impale the player, cutscenes depicting gore, intense acts of violence, and concept art showing a nude mannequin.

The recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 gave fans a glimpse of what to expect from the game. With the ratings Silent Hill f has received, it appears the franchise is poised to deliver one of its most gory and bloody entries to date.
