BBFC Granted Manhunt 2 Judicial Review

The British Board of Film Certification announced Friday that it has been granted permission to judicially review the decision by the Video Appeals Committee to overturn the Board's rejection of Manhunt 2.

The news follows Monday’s announcement that the BBFC was seeking a judicial review of the VAC's ruling, a move met with disappointment by the game's publisher Take-Two, and confirms that Manhunt 2 will definitely not see a UK release until the case is heard sometime in January.

"The BBFC was today given permission to judicially review the decision by the Video Appeals Committee to overturn the Board's rejection of the video game Manhunt 2,” the BBFC said in a statement.

“The Board has also been granted a stay on the classification of the game. It is expected that the case will be heard in January.”
