Silent Hill f has been refused classification in Australia.
The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts' Classification Board (IARC) has not detailed why, exactly, the horror has been denied release, but simply invites people to contact the organisation if they want more information (so I have - I'll update as/when I hear back).
I personally would love to know why I’ll need to illegally source this game. It looks sick and Silent Hill is pure magic.

FFS why did we introduce the over-18 category a decade ago if they’re still gonna pull this shit?

Step one: Submit a bunch of bullshit answers to the classifications request form.
Step two: Trigger some algorithm that initially refuses classification.
Step three: Press release saying your game was banned in Australia.
Step four: Free Press!!
Step five: Get your classification when a human gets around to your title and have far higher interest in your game because of the press.
This whole episode fails the sniff test. I think Konami did this on purpose to intentionally rustle your jimmies.
