Mortal Kombat X secures an R18+ classification in Australia

3 Feb 2015

Well, we were wrong… and we’re very happy to admit it.

The Australian Classification Board has issued Mortal Kombat X with an R18+ classification, citing mild impact themes, moderate impact language and high impact violence.

We’re not aware of any modified content, so it looks like gory fatalities are here to stay… but that said, we’re checking with Warner Bros. on that, just in case.

Mortal Kombat X will be available from 14 April for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Thanks, @AusVGClass!

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
