In the same year as Australia is set to receive an R18+ adult rating for video games, another title has met a grisly fate, effectively banned Down Under.
Somewhat unsurprisingly, the Extended Cut of House of the Dead: Overkill did not please the Australian Classification Board, which has given the game the dreaded Refused Classification label.
Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
get it on ebay import it then
why don't they re-release it in Australia when they get the R18+ rating?
They seriously need an 18 rating over there
Dont get why this got banned but the wii version got through. its the same game isnt it?
Australia The true land of the pussies they might look tough but don't let that fool you
