Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact, the anticipated fighting game, has been banned in Australia by the Australian Classification Board, receiving a Refused Classification rating. The surprising decision, issued December 1st, lacks any explanation.
While the reasons for a Refused Classification are typically clear, this decision is unexpected. The official trailer shows standard fighting game fare—no explicit sex, graphic violence, or drug use. However, unseen content might be the cause, or perhaps correctable technical issues.
Australia's history with game bans and subsequent reversals is well-documented. Games like Pocket Gal 2 and even The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings faced initial bans but were later reclassified after modifications.
The Classification Board is open to reconsidering decisions if developers make changes. Disco Elysium: The Final Cut and Outlast 2 are examples of games that initially received Refused Classification but were later approved after addressing concerns about drug use and sexual violence respectively.
Therefore, the Australian ban isn't necessarily final. The developer or publisher could appeal the decision by providing content justifications or making edits to meet classification standards. The possibility of Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact's eventual release in Australia remains open.
