Silent Hill f Gets Banned in Australia

Silent Hill f will not see the light of day in Australia due to its stringent classification by the country's board. The Australian Classification Board has imposed a "Refused Classification" rating on Silent Hill f, effectively banning the game from being sold, hired, advertised, or imported into the country.

The now-private publication post detailing the rating decision provided minimal insight into the specific reasons behind this classification. However, according to the Australian Classification Board's guidelines, "Refused Classification (RC)" is assigned to content that falls outside generally accepted community standards and exceeds what is permissible under the R 18+ and X 18+ ratings.

Contrastingly, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) in the United States rated Silent Hill f as "Mature 17+," citing content involving blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity. The ESRB's detailed summary highlighted elements such as frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks that impale the player, gore-filled cutscenes, and concept art featuring a nude mannequin as contributing factors to this rating.

The recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided fans with a glimpse into what to expect from Silent Hill f, suggesting that the franchise is set to deliver one of its most gruesome and blood-soaked experiences yet.
