IllFonic has announced that Halloween: The Game has been banned in Australia and New Zealand due to its inclusion of a controlled substance. The denial was not based on the presence of the iconic slasher, Michael Myers, or the outstanding kills that can be performed in the game, but rather the presence of a controlled substance. As such, while IllFonic hasn’t confirmed anything, it’s likely the inclusion of a controlled substance relates to this. Halloween: The Game is scheduled for release on September 8, 2026 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. [Source – Halloween The Game on X via VGC, Bloody Disgusting]
