At the end of October, Mary Skelter 2 was refused classification in Australia. The game did not receive its rating and was essentially banned in the region. Yet a couple of months later, it seems a release has happened after all.

Mary Skelter 2 popped up on the Australian eShop earlier today without any prior notice. It’s carrying an understandably high R 18+ rating, but there don’t appear to be any changes to the game’s content.

Those who are interested in the title can currently get it at 20 percent off in Australia.

Idea Factory today dated its desert-filled RPG Arc of Alchemist for the west. In North America, the game will arrive on January 30, 2020. The European release is happening one day later on January 31, 2002.
