Cyberpunk 2077‘s now formally gotten stamped with a “Mature” score by the ESRB, one of many organisations wot offers all the massive games their official warning labels. Most of the ESRB’s description of Cyberpunk’s actions is fairly anticipated—nothing that GTA hasn’t acquired finger-wagged for up to now. In among the many intercourse, medication, and weapons although are apparently numerous butts and bits customising and, uh, some form of cyberpunk crucifixion scene?
It comes as no shock, in fact. Are you stunned? I wager that no, you aren’t. The first large 48 minute demo of Cyberpunk 2077 that we noticed had V pulling a unadorned individual out of a bath of ice with a closeup view of their breasts so like, I believe all of us knew this was not an E for everybody, nor even Teen-rated scenario.
There are some selection new items of intel that the ESRB rating offers us although. “Players can select a gender and customise their character; customisation can include depictions of breasts, buttocks, and genitalia, as well as various sizes and combinations of genitals,” they are saying. Buttocks customisation is a function that I believe we will all get behind (eh? EH?).
How totally fleshed will it’s? The ESRB didn’t get so particular however I’m reminded of the “posterior dimensions” slider in The Elder Scrolls Online that I at all times have a chuckle at. Apparently we’ll additionally have the ability to select “sizes and combinations of genitals” which, truly, might be neat? This is a cyberpunk future, proper? Your physique is your canvas. Begone the shackles of flesh that was grafted to you at delivery. Well, hopefully anyway. There are some genuine concerns about how CDPR will deal with trans our bodies however I suppose we will hope.
Oh, after which there’s apparently—spoiler warning, I suppose—a quest throughout which “players assist a character by hammering nails through his hands and feet.” What? I’m unsure if this obvious cyberpunk crucifixion can be roughly horrifying with its meant context. Let’s, uh, put a pin in that one I assume.
The descriptions of violence and medicines are fairly anticipated. “Combat is frentic,” the ESRB say “with frequent gunfire, cries of pain, explosions, and blood-splatter effects.” There are many varieties of weapons. Folks get dismembered. Folks do medication. Folks have intercourse with “brief depictions of thrusting motions.” Oh my stars.
We’re apparently in retailer for a fairly main new take a look at Cyberpunk 2077 subsequent month throughout an occasion CDPR are calling Night City Wire on June 11th. CDPR say that the Covid-19 pandemic won’t delay their launch, so launch day remains to be set for September 17th.
