Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes , the new game in Hideo Kojima's franchise, has just received an 18+ rating for "Sexual Violence," a rating used for the second time in gaming history.
A spoiler has been released by the ESRB (Entertainment Software Review Board), which is responsible for rating games in the US.
This is an action game in which players assume the role of an elite soldier on a military mission in Cuba. Players infiltrate various bases and use pistols, machine guns, and rocket launchers to kill enemy soldiers. Shootouts are highlighted by realistic gunfire, slow-motion effects, and blood splatter. Players can also perform stealth attacks (e.g., strangulation and backstabbing) and have the ability to kill non-enemy characters, such as prisoners and citizens. One scene includes the display of blood and entrails (e.g., a character's intestine is displayed during a procedure to remove an object from inside the person's body). The game includes an audio file in which a woman is sexually assaulted by a man. In this case, there is no visual representation, only the sound of clothes being ripped and people struggling. The words "fuck" and "shit" are heard in the dialogue.
Here's the trailer:
