AVP Banned From Sale in Australia

The upcoming title from Rebellion will be disallowed from sale in Australia because of its mature and bloody nature, this leaves fans short of an easy purchase and Rebellion out of a large and growing Aussie gaming market.

“Rebellion is disappointed that its upcoming title Aliens vs. Predator has been banned in Australia. However, as we understand the law in that country the authorities had no choice as we agree strongly that our game is not suitable for game players who are not adults,” said the developer in a statement.

“The content of AVP is based on some of the most innovative and iconic horror movies, and as such we wanted to create a title that was true to the source material. It is for adults, and it is bloody and frightening, that was our intent. We will not be releasing a sanitised or cut down version for territories where adults are not considered by their governments to be able to make their own entertainment choices.”

Aliens vs. Predator will be released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in February.
