Silent Hill f Banned in Australia

The latest installment in the iconic horror franchise, Silent Hill f, has been banned in Australia after receiving a "Refused Classification" rating from the Australian Classification Board. This decision means that the game cannot be sold, hired, advertised, or legally imported within the country.

The reasons behind the "Refused Classification" rating remain somewhat elusive, as the initial publication post was removed, providing little to no detailed explanation. However, according to the Australian Classification Board's guidelines, materials that receive this rating contain content that falls outside of generally accepted community standards and surpasses the thresholds set for the R 18+ and X 18+ ratings.

In contrast, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) in the United States has rated Silent Hill f as "Mature 17+". This rating highlights the game's inclusion of blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity. The ESRB's detailed rating summary mentions frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks that impale the player, cutscenes depicting gore, and concept art showcasing a nude mannequin as key elements contributing to the game's mature rating.

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