Hotline Miami 2 refused classification in Australia

The Australian Classification Board (ACB) has refused classification to Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, banning it from purchase in the country.

The Board has written that the game was refused classification as one that depicts “matters of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults to the extent that they should not be classified.”

The first Hotline Miami game was issued with an MA15+ rating by the ACB.
