God of War Ragnarok’s hotly anticipated launch is quick approaching, and additional proof of its impending ninth November launch has emerged as a part of its ESRB abstract. While the classification – which incorporates an age ranking for the US viewers – is gentle on any significantly illuminating info, it does affirm that it is best to anticipate loads of gratuitous gore, because the sequence is thought for.

Without delving into too many spoilers, the ranking abstract reveals: “This is an action adventure game in which players help Kratos and his son on a dangerous quest. Players explore various realms and engage in frenetic hand-to-hand combat against human-like raiders and fantastical creatures. Players use axes and chained blades to battle enemies, often resulting in large blood-splatter effects and dismemberment.”

Nothing significantly sudden there, is there? The synopsis does add: “Players can perform finishing attacks that depict close-up impalement via bladed and handheld weapons; repeated axe strikes to a creature’s neck results in decapitation. The words ‘f**k’ and ‘sh*t’ are heard in the game.” So there we now have it: curse phrases confirmed.
