    General games New Manhunt 2 release date forthcoming

    via Games Industry


    Following the earlier news that Video Appeals Committee had reaffirmed its decision regarding the release of Manhunt 2, and the BBFC's admission that further action on its part was likely to yield realistic results, Rockstar is now working towards a new release date for the title in the UK.

    "We are pleased that the VAC has reaffirmed its decision recognizing that Manhunt 2 is well within the bounds established by other 18-plus rated entertainment," a company statement read.

    "Rockstar Games is committed to making great interactive entertainment, while also marketing our products responsibly and supporting an effective rating system."

    The version of the game to be released in the UK has been confirmed as the same one currently available in the US under a Mature rating - the version which was rejected by the BBFC the second time around.

    A Rockstar spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz that due to the news of the VAC's decision only breaking earlier today, no official decision had yet been made on a release date, but discussions were expected to take place shortly.

    UK stores have not taken delivery of stock in anticipation of any decision, so the title will not hit the shelves immediately.
