The Australian Classification Review Board originally slapped a RC on We Happy Few due to its drug use, but the game will now instead come with a ratings warning for “Fantasy violence and interactive drug use”.

Rocket Chainsaw previewed We Happy Few at E3 2016, and since then the game has been garnering a cult following due to its somewhat unique Orwell-esque world of forced emotions.

The 100% uncensored We Happy Few will launch on August 10, 2018 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC platforms.
