Team NINJA‘s Rise of the Ronin has been rated by the ESRB, and unsurprisingly, the game has picked up a Mature rating due to excessive violence that includes decapitation and dismemberment.
Here’s the full description from the ratings board:
This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a former assassin in ancient Japan (Edo period). Players explore an open-world environment to complete quests, interact with characters, and battle enemy forces. Players use samurai swords, bladed spears, pistols, and flame throwers to kill thugs and ninjas in melee-style combat. Players also have the ability to kill civilians, with no impact on players’ progress. Some attacks result in decapitation and/or dismemberment, with large blood-splatter effects and dismembered body parts on the ground. Players’ finishing moves depict enemies being dismembered at close range. The word “sh*t” appears in the game.
Rise of the Ronin is scheduled for release on PS5 on March 22, 2024.
