According to Gamespot’s Official twitter account – Saints Row IV has been banned in Australia.
The reason for the ban is still not clear however the nature of its content is thought to be the main reason. Australia, previously had no real certification for Adults-only games. But now with the advancements has the R18+ rating which is similar to the AO rating in the United States, since most retail stores do not carry AO games this acts as a plus point.
Saints Row IV is set to release on August 20th in North America and will release on August 23rd in Europe for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3. This edition is about Saints battling an extra-terrestrial threat to save the world.
