Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact, the anticipated fighting game, has been banned in Australia by the Australian Classification Board, receiving a Refused Classification rating. This decision, made on December 1st, came without explanation.
Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact Banned in Australia – No Reason Given
Refused Classification: A Ban
The Refused Classification (RC) rating prevents the game's sale, rental, advertisement, or import into Australia. The board states that the content violates generally accepted community standards and surpasses the limits of R 18+ and X 18+ ratings.While the reasons for an RC rating are usually clear, this decision is surprising. The game's official trailer shows typical fighting game content, without explicit sexual content, graphic violence, or drug use. However, unshown content may be the cause, or there could be correctable errors.
A Chance for Appeal
Australia has a history of game bans, sometimes overturned later. Games like Pocket Gal 2 and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings were initially banned but later reclassified after modifications.
The Classification Board is open to reconsidering its decisions. Games like Disco Elysium: The Final Cut and Outlast 2 secured ratings after addressing concerns about drug use and sexual violence respectively. By altering content or providing justifications, developers can often appeal RC rulings.
Therefore, the ban on Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact isn't necessarily final. The developer or publisher could appeal by justifying the content or making changes to meet Australian classification standards.
