Stellar Blade’s ESRB has been revealed ahead of its PS5 launch, so here are all the reasons for its M rating.

Stellar Blade has certainly caught the attention of the gaming community, and the game’s Director Hyung-Tae Kim believes this could be due to protagonist Eve being one of the game’s main selling points.

Not only has she been modeled after a famous Korean model, which Kim notes as having “the most attractive-looking body,” but the team has even put “extra special attention” into the creation of Eve’s backside.

It’s because of the sexualized nature of the main character, that the PS5 exclusive was given an adults-only rating in Korea. Well, it looks like Stellar Blade’s ESRB rating shares a similar rating.

Eve devs announced they spent a lot of time designing her backside.

According to the official ESRB website, Stellar Blade has been rated M for Mature. The main reasons for this rating, are as follows:

“Blood-splatter effects occur frequently as enemy creatures are slashed and dismembered. Some cutscenes and battle sequences depict close-up images of impalement, dismemberment, and decapitation. The game depicts some female characters in revealing costumes (e.g., deep cleavage; skintight, flesh-toned body suits), with breasts that jiggle during combat. The word “sh*t” appears in the game.”

Stellar Blade’s ESRB rating will certainly not come as a surprise, especially since Kim has been vocal when it comes to creating “entertainment targeted for adults.”

When discussing the reasons behind Eve’s design, the director said: “Honestly, when I play a game, I would like to see someone who is better-looking than myself,” continued Kim. “That’s what I want. I don’t want to see something normal; I want to see something more ideal. I think that is very important in a form of entertainment.”

Stellar Blade launches exclusively on PS5 on April 26, 2024. Be sure to check out our Stellar Blade guides below for all the latest news and info.
