Halloween: The Game clears digital launch in New Zealand after Australia rating refusal

IllFonic's Halloween: The Game launches digitally in New Zealand on 8 September for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. New Zealand's classification office confirmed the game was never submitted locally and digital-only releases need no rating. Australia's Classification Board refused the game a rating over a controlled-substance depiction, blocking all sales there until IllFonic amends or resubmits. No resubmission timeline is announced.
