Mobile Game's Australian Block Shrouded in Mystery
Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact Banned in Australia: An Unexpected Twist
The Australian Classification Board's decision to refuse classification for the upcoming fighting game, Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact, has sent shockwaves through the gaming community. Issued on December 1st, the Refused Classification (RC) rating effectively bans the game's sale, distribution, and advertisement within Australia. The Board, however, offered no explanation for this surprising decision.
A Refused Classification signifies content deemed unacceptable by Australian community standards, exceeding even the R18+ and X18+ rating thresholds. This is particularly puzzling given the game's promotional material, which showcases typical fighting game fare without overt sexual content, graphic violence, or drug use.
While unseen elements within the game might account for the RC rating, the possibility of easily rectifiable errors also remains. This isn't unprecedented; the Australian Classification Board has a history of reviewing and revising initial classifications.
A History of Reclassification and Second Chances
The Australian Classification Board’s history demonstrates a willingness to reconsider decisions based on modifications or justifications. Numerous games, initially banned, have subsequently received classifications after developer revisions. Examples include The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (following content edits) and Disco Elysium: The Final Cut (after a reassessment of its drug use depiction). Similarly, Outlast 2 secured an R18+ rating after removing a scene depicting sexual violence.
The path forward for Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact in Australia remains open. The developer and publisher can appeal the decision by either providing detailed justifications for the game's content or by making modifications to align with Australian classification guidelines. This might involve removing or altering elements deemed problematic. The possibility of a future release in Australia, therefore, is not entirely closed.
