After being refused classification upon its initial submission in early 2011, and again upon a subsequent appeal from publisher Warner Games, it seems a third time's the charm for the most recent Mortal Kombat game. According to listings on the Australian Classification Board's website, Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition has been rated R18+ and will finally see a release in Australia (well, aside from Queensland) for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The R18+ rating for videogames was introduced to the majority of Australian states and territories on 1 January, 2013, enabling the publishers of previously banned games to resubmit those games for consideration under the new guidelines. With the success of Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition in attaining an R18+ rating, it could open the door for more publishers of previously refused titles to try their luck.
Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition features the full Mortal Kombat game plus all of the downloadable content on the disc, including the special character Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street. IGN asked Warner Games if they were able to confirm local release date, but they were unable to confirm one at the time of writing.
