Saints Row 4‘s down under scrutiny will occur again next week, as the over-the-top sandbox crime game attempts a second run by the Australian Classification Board. The ACB banned the game last month, raising issues over its depiction of drug use and an “alien anal probe.”
Publisher Deep Silver previously said it was planning to re-submit a re-worked version of the game – apparently a “low violence” one going by Steam Australia. That re-review is now confirmed and dated for this time next week on July 29, and hopefully it’s a decision that leaves both parties satisfied.
Saints Row 4 was the first to be banned in the country after the government passed the law permitting R18+ games for adult audiences. The second game, banned a day after Saints Row 4, was State of Decay. Thankfully, Undead Labs’ own reworked version came through its re-review earlier this month, and the developer expects to bring the XBLA game Australia’s way on Friday, July 26.
