Warner Bros has announced it is planning to release Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition — a game of the year style edition that contains all the DLC released for the game. Obviously, with Mortal Kombat being refused classification in Australia, the chances of this version of the game being released here are slim, but we thought we’d double check regardless.
Being that Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition is, technically, a new title and would have to go through the classification process regardless, Warner Bros could attempt to classify Mortal Kombat by submitting this new edition.
However, Warner Bros Australia has confirmed that, sensibly, they will not be attempting to submit Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition to the Classification Board.
If we were to speculate, however, it would make perfect sense for Warner Bros to submit Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition for classification after an R18+ rating is introduced here. EA made a similar decision with Syndicate, choosing to not resubmit an edited version of the recently RC’d Syndicate.
However, at this stage, we have no real precise timeline on when the Classification Board will be able to process the first R18+ game. Some speculate we could be waiting for years.
Thanks VG247
