There's some bad news for Australians out there - it looks like upcoming horror game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Medium has been denied classifica🙈tion. Something that gets its classification refused generally results in its being banned for release in that country.
This news was gleaned from the game's listing on Australia's , which reflects that the game's submission for classification was refused. You'll see that there's not reall🌄y much additional inf🦹ormation which could explain this, with the Reason for Refused Classification simply requesting you to contact them for further info.
After doing exactly that - and contacting the developer Bloober Team directly - managed to get a bit more insight into what's going on here. They also contacted Microsoft, hoping to understand why their Xbox X/S-exclusive title got the boot in Australia, but got redir🎃ected back to Bloober. The developers were apparently following up on the issue last week, but there has yet to be any concrete update since.
Apparently, the Classification Board didn't classif♔y the game itself; rather, an online International Age Rating Coalition tool was used. So it's probable that something went awry during that process, meaning this is would all just be the result of a mere administrative issue.
There is of course still the possibility that it's more than this. Perhaps there is so♏me content in the game which really does clash with Australia's set of classification guidelines. The kinds of things which often prevent games from getting their stamp of approval are particular instances of substance abuse, sex-related mishaps, or excessive violence.
Australia's 💧guidelines are apparently known for being ,💟 which will ideally be revised in the future.
So unfortunately, there is still no com🌄plete clarity around the reasoning for The Medium's current classification status in Australia, but the developers are working on it as we speak.
The Medium is planned for a December 10 release, digitally on PC via Steam and Epic Games, and on Xbox ⛄Series X/S for which the game is optimized.
