Bohemia Interactive’s DayZ has been reclassified MA15+ in Australia, closing the book on a tumultuous few months for the game down under. This means DayZ is no longer banned for sale in Australia and will be able to be released at retail for PS4 and Xbox One later this year as planned.
DayZ was refused classification on June 4 this year due to “illicit or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards,” a quirk of the Australian game classification guidelines that Australia’s Interactive Games and Entertainment Association has called “nonsensical.” DayZ was refused classification due to cannabis use that, in the Classification Board’s opinion, “acted as an incentive or reward to boost overall health and survivability.”
