Australia’s Classification Board has refused to grant Syndicate a rating. In effect this bans the title from being sold in its current form, and publisher Electronic Arts has no intention of changing the game in order to make it acceptable.
It would not be the first time something like this happened — a number of games have been refused classification over the years by Australia including Mortal Kombat, The Witcher 2, and 50 Cent: Bulletproof. The latter two were ultimately altered to make them more acceptable while Mortal Kombat remains unavailable in Australia.
