Halloween: The Game denied classification in Australia and New Zealand over drug depiction

IllFonic's asymmetric horror title Halloween: The Game has been refused classification by the Australian Classifications Board, barring its sale in both Australia and New Zealand. "Despite every effort on our part, the Australian Classification Board has denied Halloween: The Game a rating," the studio confirmed in response to a player. "Unfortunately, to our disappointment (and certainly yours) this means that we cannot sell the physical or digital product in both Australia and New Zealand." IllFonic has not confirmed this detail directly, and the refusal has yet to appear on the Classification Board's public register. Australia's classification board has a history of refusing game ratings over depictions of illicit drugs and some depictions of violence.
