Silent Hill f Gets Banned in Australia

The Australian Classification Board has given Silent Hill f a "Refused Classification" rating, effectively banning its release in the country. This decision was spotted on a now-private publication post, which offered little to no detail on the rationale behind the rating. According to the Australian Classification Board, "Refused Classification (RC) refers to films, computer games, and publications that cannot be sold, hired, advertised, or legally imported in Australia." This rating is assigned to content that falls outside generally accepted community standards and exceeds the limits of 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 reflects the game's inclusion of blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity. The ESRB's detailed rating summary highlights elements such as frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks that impale the player, gore-filled cutscenes, and concept art featuring a nude mannequin as key factors contributing to the "M 17+" rating.

The recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided fans with insights into what to expect from the game. Given the ratings, it appears that Silent Hill f is set to be one of the most graphic and violent entries in the franchise to date.
