Halloween: The Game Blocked in AU/NZ Over Rating Denial
TL;DR
The Australian Classification Board refused to rate Halloween: The Game, banning its sale in Australia and New Zealand despite a September 8 release on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. Officials cited the presence of a controlled substance (a weed-smoking mechanic) rather than the game's violence as the reason for the denial, meaning Illfonic and Gun Interactive cannot sell the title physically or digitally in AU/NZ.
