After being denied classification by the Australian Classification Review Board back in May – effectively banning the game for sale in the country – We Happy Few has been given an official rating and will now be released in Australia.
No official explanation was given when We Happy Few was originally denied classification. However in today’s official media release, the ACB revealed it was specifically due to We Happy Few’s portrayal of drug use, writing “In the Classification Review Board’s opinion We Happy Few warrants an R18+ classification because the interactive drug use is high in impact.”
