Konami's highly anticipated title, Silent Hill f, has received an automated refused classification (RC) rating in Australia, preventing it from being sold in the country at this time. This rating stems from an automated tool used by the International Age Rating Coalition, rather than a decision made by Australian Classification Board members. Although the specific reasons for the RC rating have not been disclosed, past instances indicate that such ratings are often tied to adult content restrictions. The game is notable for being the first in the Silent Hill franchise to secure an R18+ rating in Japan, raising intrigue about its content. Despite this setback, it's uncertain if this classification will hold, as the Australian Classification Board has the power to review or override the automated ratings, especially for physical game releases.
