Stellar Blade rated for Nintendo Switch 2

The action-packed Stellar Blade has already been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2 and it is set to launch on Nintendo’s latest platform later this year. The game has just been rated by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board and received a M for Mature game rating on the Nintendo Switch 2. You can read why the ratings board came to the decision in the ratings summary down below.

Stellar Blade is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Language, Suggestive Themes, and Violence. This is an action-adventure RPG in which players assume the role of a super soldier battling an invading alien force. From a third-person perspective, players explore apocalyptic environments and complete mission objectives while battling enemies (e.g., alien creatures, humanoid) in melee-style combat. Players use blades, machine guns, and laser blasters to kill enemies. Battles are fast paced, highlighted by sword slashes, large explosions, and realistic gunfire. 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.
