Outlast 2 to be released in Australia after all

Making your opinions heard can help sometimes.
Eirik Hyldbakk Furu Editor-in-Chief Norway 24 March 2017

Last week we learned that Outlast 2 failed classification in Australia, and therefore wouldn't be released there. Well, it turns out Australian gamers have made their opinions known.

The Australian Classification Board decided to evaluate the game's content a second time, and has chosen to rate it after all. It won't even be censored in any way, but will instead get their second highest rating, R18+.

Do you think there's grounds to refuse classification, from what you've seen?
