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

Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia following a "Refused Classification" rating from the country's classification board. This decision prevents the game from being released in the region. The Australian Classification Board did not provide detailed reasons for this rating, but according to their guidelines, "Refused Classification (RC)" is applied to content that falls outside generally accepted community standards and exceeds what is permissible under R 18+ and X 18+ ratings.

Silent Hill f Gets Banned in Australia

The Australian Classification Board's decision to give Silent Hill f a "Refused Classification" rating has effectively barred the game from being sold, hired, advertised, or legally imported into Australia. Despite the lack of specific details from the now-private publication post, it's clear that the content in Silent Hill f did not meet the country's strict standards.

In contrast, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) in the United States rated Silent Hill f as "Mature 17+". This rating was given due to the game's depiction of blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity. The ESRB's rating summary highlighted elements such as frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks that impale the player, gore-filled cutscenes, and concept art showing a nude mannequin as reasons for the "M 17+" rating.

During the Silent Hill Transmission on March 13, fans got a glimpse of what to expect from Silent Hill f, which appears to be one of the most graphic and violent entries in the franchise to date.
