PlayStation 4-exclusive Bloodborne has been slapped with an ‘M’ rating by the ESRB, which shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone familiar with From Software’s gore-drenched actioner.
As always, the ratings body posted up a summary of the game to go alongside its M certificate, which we’ve included below.
"This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of a hunter on a quest through an ancient gothic city. Players use cleavers, axes, and pistols to kill monsters and human-like creatures.
Battles are accompanied by realistic gunfire, impact sounds, and large blood-splatter effects. Some sequences depict instances of blood and gore: a ghost holding its own severed head; a creature ripping its limbs to attack characters; a partial view of a beheading."
Bloodborne is due out on March 24, and hails from the same code house as the Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls titles. According to the developers, the game world promises to be ‘large and complex.’
