The Entertainment Software Ratings Board recently unveiled the rating summary for Metal gear Survive. According to the ESRB, the upcoming survival action-adventure game will receive an “M” for Mature rating. Much like its predecessor, the board decided to give the sequel a Mature rating citing the use of “Blood,” “Language,” and “Violence” as factors.
Here’s a full summary of Metal Gear Survive’s final rating from the ESRB:
This is an action game in which players help a soldier find a way home after being transported through an alternate dimension. Players undertake missions to explore a hostile world, looking for resources to craft weapons/equipment and rescue other survivors.
Along the way, players use pistols, machine guns, automated turrets, traps, and explosives to battle crystalline alien creatures and infected soldiers in frenetic firefights. Realistic gunfire, large explosives, and screams of pain are heard during combat. Large blood-splatter effects are depicted when characters are injured/killed; some environments depict large pools of blood underneath corpses. The word “sh*t” appears in the dialogue.
Metal Gear Survive is currently being developed by Konami Digital Entertainment and is the first game in the series after the series’ creator, Hideo Kojima departed from the company in 2015. Initially, the game had a 2017 launch window. However, last June, Konami announced the game was delayed to 2018.
Set sometime between the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Metal Gear Survive payers are transported to an alternate reality; where the world currently inhabited by a group of hostile, crystalline zombified-like life forms known as “creatures.”
