Sony has confirmed on the PlayStation Blog that Heavy Rain will carry a strong M rating. The ESRB rating is for Blood, Intense Violence, Nudity, Sexual Content, Strong Language and Use of Drugs. Sony also confirmed that the box art, posted earlier today, is in fact the official front cover.
There has been some discussion about whether or not the North American release will feature the same content as other territories, or if it will be censored in any way. Well, Sony confirmed that the North American content will be exactly the same as what’s being released in other territories. That means we will get to see everything Quantic Dream created in this epic looking story and game. February 23 can’t come soon enough.
