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.

Refused Classification Rating
The Refused Classification (RC) prevents the game's sale, rental, advertisement, or import into Australia. The board states that RC-rated content surpasses the limits of even the R18+ and X18+ ratings, violating community standards.While the reasons for RC ratings are generally well-defined, this decision is surprising. The game's promotional material doesn't depict explicit sexual content, graphic violence, or drug use – typical elements of fighting games.
However, unshown content might be the cause. Alternatively, the issue could stem from clerical errors correctable before resubmission.
Appealing Refused Classifications: A History of Second Chances
Australia's classification board has a history of initially banning games, only to overturn the decision after revisions. Games like The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings were initially banned but later received an MA 15+ rating following edits. Disco Elysium: The Final Cut and Outlast 2 also underwent similar processes, with content adjustments leading to revised ratings.
The board is open to reconsidering its decisions if developers modify or justify content. This could involve removing objectionable elements or providing context to mitigate concerns.
Therefore, the Australian ban isn't necessarily final. The developers can appeal the decision by providing content justifications or making changes to meet classification requirements. The possibility of a future release in Australia remains open.
