Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact Banned in Australia: A Mysterious Refusal
The Australian Classification Board (ACB) has unexpectedly refused classification for the upcoming fighting game, Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact, leaving its Australian release in limbo. This decision, delivered on December 1st, was issued without explanation, sparking confusion and speculation within the gaming community.
A Refused Classification (RC) rating effectively prevents the game's sale, distribution, and advertisement within Australia. The ACB's statement accompanying the RC indicated the content exceeded acceptable community standards, surpassing the limits of even the R18+ and X18+ ratings.
While the trailer showcases typical fighting game fare, devoid of overt sexual content, graphic violence, or drug use, the ACB's decision suggests undisclosed elements triggered the ban. This could involve unseen content within the game or even potential technical errors.
A History of Reconsideration and Second Chances
This isn't the first time the ACB has issued an RC rating, only to later overturn it following revisions. Games like The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and Disco Elysium: The Final Cut initially faced similar bans but were eventually reclassified after modifications addressed concerns regarding explicit content or sensitive themes. Outlast 2 also underwent changes to secure an R18+ rating.
The ACB has demonstrated a willingness to reconsider its decisions if developers adjust or justify problematic content. This leaves a glimmer of hope for Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact. By providing a detailed explanation of the game's content, or by implementing alterations, the developers might successfully appeal the RC rating and secure a release in Australia. The future of the game in the Australian market remains uncertain, pending further action from the developers and the ACB.
