We're less than two months away from the release of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon and the game has now received its ESRB rating, further confirming that a delay is very unlikely.
FromSoftware is returning to the Mecha genre with Armored Core 6 after over a decade of absence and the good news is that the upcoming entry will retain the Teen rating of its predecessors.
The Teen rating is due to "Drug Reference, Language, and Violence" in the game which is something you'd expect from a mecha game with a ton of fighting involved.
"This is a third-person shooter in which players assume the role of a mercenary carrying out military-style missions," the ESRB rating reads. "Players pilot mechanized battle suits (i.e., mechs), using machine guns, rocket launchers, missiles, and melee-style attacks to destroy enemies (e.g., other mechs, tanks, helicopters). Battles are often fast-paced, accompanied by realistic gunfire and large explosions—damaged battle suits often burst into fiery wreckage/scattered debris."
"The game contains references to a fictional drug in the dialogue/text (e.g., "The Dosers are locked in a power struggle over the Coral drug trade"; "No one's getting high off that"; "You gotta take Rubicon's blessings raw…Hits your brain with a pop and a sizzle."). The word "sh*t" appears in the game."
