Watch Dogs 2 ESPB Rating is In
Late last week, Ubisoft released a killer story trailer for their upcoming game Watch Dogs 2. You can watch Marcus Holloway team up with the Dedsec crew, an elite group of hackers engaged in a quest to shut down the plans of power hungry Blume CTO, Dušan Nemec and restore power to the people here:
Today the ESRB published the rating for Watch Dogs 2, which is coming for PS4, Xbox One and PC on November 15th. It comes as no surprise the game gets a Mature rating citing “Blood, Intense Violence, Nudity, Sexual Themes, Strong Language, Use of Drugs.”
The summary includes quite a few details about the game, and perhaps some mild spoilers, so proceed with caution:
“This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a man (Marcus Holloway) who joins forces with a hacker group intent on exposing corruption in the San Francisco Bay Area. As players explore the open-world environment, they can complete mission-based objectives, interact with characters, and engage in combat with criminals and rival gangs.
Players use machine guns, shotguns, assault rifles, and explosives to kill enemy thugs and/or civilians; killing civilians, however, may negatively affect their progress. Fire fights are often accompanied by realistic gunfire, large explosions, and blood-splatter effects. Some sequences contain additional acts of violence: a man bleeding out and dying from a stab wound; a man shot and killed by an officer.
The game contains some sexual material: a man selling child pornography over the phone (no sexual acts or nudity depicted); a strip club depicting pole dancers and topless women; brief instances of male and female full-frontal nudity (e.g., a woman in body paint; a man standing with a woman outdoors). During the course of the game, characters are depicted smoking marijuana and using needles to inject themselves with drugs; in one sequence, the player’s screen warps and blurs after consuming mushrooms laced with acid. The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” are heard in the dialogue.”
