Gears of War 4 classified R18+ in Australia

The Gears of War 4 beta was classified MA15+ due to mild impact language, moderate impact themes and strong impact violence. Though the executions above were taken from the beta, it looks like the full release amps it up a bit.

Gears of War 4 heads to Windows PC and Xbox One, as part of Xbox Play Anywhere, on 11 October. Microsoft recently announced a new, Gears 4-themed 2TB Xbox One Slim bundle.
