Following on from the news yesterday that Mortal Kombat X was issued an R18+ classification from the Australian Classification Board, a representative from Warner Bros. today confirmed that the decision was made on an unedited version of the game.

The last game in the Mortal Kombat franchise, known as Mortal Kombat or Mortal Kombat 9, was originally refused classification in Australia, though it was released before the R18+ classification was put in place. The game was later released under the R18+ classification as Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition. Despite this, our first preview of MKX at E3 last year had us worried about the title’s fate.
