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
Refused Classification: No Official Reason Provided
The Refused Classification (RC) rating prevents the game's sale, rental, advertisement, or import into Australia. The board states that RC-rated content violates generally accepted community standards and surpasses the limits of even the R 18+ and X 18+ categories.While the criteria for an RC rating are generally understood, the decision regarding Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact is surprising. The game's launch trailer doesn't depict explicit sexual content, graphic violence, or drug use—elements typically associated with an RC rating. This suggests the problematic content may lie beyond the promotional material, perhaps due to unforeseen issues or clerical errors.
A Chance for Reconsideration?
Australia's classification board has a history of both banning games and subsequently overturning those decisions. Past examples include Pocket Gal 2 and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, both initially banned but later reclassified after modifications.
The board demonstrates a willingness to reconsider if developers make adjustments, such as censorship or providing adequate justification for controversial content. Games like Disco Elysium: The Final Cut and Outlast 2 saw their RC ratings overturned after addressing concerns about drug use and sexual violence, respectively.
Therefore, the Australian ban on Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact isn't necessarily final. The developers may appeal the decision by justifying the content or making changes to meet classification standards. The possibility of a future release in Australia remains open, pending a successful appeal or content revision.
