The next installment in the Dragon Ball Z gaming series is a highly-anticipated one, with Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot set to deliver a deeper RPG experience that fans are salivating for. While the game isn’t set to launch until early next year, the ESRB has already released its rating for the game.
The game ended up receiving a T (for teen) rating, with the content descriptors being Mild Language, Suggestive Themes and Violence. As usual, they also provide a Rating Summary that breaks the rating down even further, and that is the following:
“This is an action-adventure game in which players relive the story of Goku and his friends through the events and story arcs of the Dragon Ball Z franchise. From a third-person perspective, players interact with characters, complete side quests, and engage in story missions consisting mostly of fighting enemies in one-on-one combat. Players use punches, kicks, and perform energy blasts/beams to defeat opponents in frenetic combat. Battles are highlighted by impact sounds, light effects, and cries of pain. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence: human hunters shooting a character in the stomach; a character’s arm getting severed (no blood depicted); a young character destroyed in a fiery blast; characters impaled by lasers blasts. The game contains some suggestive material: a menu screen depicting adult magazines (women with deep cleavage, no nudity); suggestive descriptions of items and characters (e.g., “A risqué magazine, stored away in a random capsule by Dr. Briefs”; “…he is…quite the pervert, oftimes getting himself into trouble with women”; “…expelled for stealing his teacher’s underwear…he originally used his power to kidnap young women he liked.”); in one sequence, a character is seen reading an adult magazine (no nudity). The words “bastard” and “a*s” are heard in the game.”
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is being developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for PS4, Xbox One and PC. The release date is set for January 17th, 2020.
