EA’s first-person game reboot gets refused classification in Australia.
The introduction of an adult rating for games in Australia–which is slated to be introduced sometime in 2012–will come too late for EA’s new take on the Syndicate franchise. The game has been refused classification by the Australian Classification Board, meaning it’s illegal to sell or market in the country.
A listing on the Classification Board website has confirmed the banning, but EA has not yet officially commented on the situation. GameSpot AU has also reached out to the board to obtain more detail on the banning. While exact details on why the game was banned are not known, Syndicate did feature scenes of tense violence, including an ability to take over enemy minds and force them to commit suicide.
GameSpot AU will have more details on the Syndicate ban as more information comes to light.
