It was recently revealed that Stellar Blade, the upcoming post-apocalyptic saucy slasher, was given Korea’s most mature rating by the Game Management Committee. It’s yet to be rated by the likes of PEGI or the ESRB, but it’s assumed that it’ll receive 18+ and Mature ratings in those markets, too. The document posted by Korea’s Game Management Committee stated that the driving criteria for this rating was the presence of nudity and excessive violence in the game.

In the report published by the Game Management Committee in Korea, it was stated that Stellar Blade exhibits excessive violence – including decapitation and mutilation – and that the ‘female character’ is ‘appearing naked in her costumes’. The term used by the GMC to describe this was ‘explicit expression of body exposure’.

Reason for the high age rating:

- 직접적인 선정적인 표현 ( Direct sexual expression )

- 과도한 폭력표현 ( Excessive violence )

Stellar Blade Rated 18+ For Nudity and 'Excessive Violence'

Stellar Blade has recently been rated 18+ in Korea on the grounds of it containing excessive violence and nudity.

Enough with PEGI 12

 

[StueyDuck]

Technically everyone is "naked In their costumes"

 

[draliko]

Happy to hear that

 

[Varteras]

So close. One day I will get a game with "excessively violent nudity".

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[CrustyBritches]

Sounds promising

 

[SJRB]

Hell yeah

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

godbless sexually objectified woman

 

[killatopak]

Just like most, I’m happy about this.

I would love it to be something more though similar to Nier. Just entice me with ass and make me appreciate everything you have to offer.

 

[RoadHazard]

There's nudity?

(Showing some skin isn't "nudity".)

 

[protonion]

I have been watching hardcore porn since I was twelve and violent movies even before and turned out fine.

18 for a couple of ass cheeks and some digital blood lol!

 

[midnightAI]

Ok, fine, pre-ordered

(its 18 rated in the UK also, weird, we aren't usually that prudish/squeamish, does that mean I get to hear Richard Wells saying 'Pegi 18' every time I fire the game up? (I was just reading that thread))

 

[GrayChild]

I already said I'm buying it. You don't have to convince me further.

 

[GamesDontSuck]

Probably not nudity nudity. Just her costume.

 

[phaedrus]

S Korea said main character a slut.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

They better not censor this game outside of South Korea or there will be riots

 

[Danjin44]

It’s strange to me that Asian games get scrutinize heavily over characters showing skin while some western games feature full nudity and actual sex and get nothing.

I even remember when Catherine coming out people keep calling “porn“ game even tho it has zero nudity and only applied that characters slept together without showing actual sex.

its little unfair…don’t you think?

 

[Bkdk]

awesome, so costume tear from injury could be a reality!
including decapitation and mutilation, so possible very detailed and sexy death animation too!

 

[GymWolf]

Sideboobs and ass shots are now considered nudity?

 

[Valt7786]

Oh boy, Eurogamer and Kotaku are gonna have a field day with this.
Can't wait.

 

[The Pleasure]

I got Stellar Blade right now

 

[Kurimao]

I want a collectors edition nude art cover.

It's strange for those who believe in their fake moral excuses.

This is a campaign against creators who don't bend the knee. It's all about power. Nobody really cares for nudity or any other "controversial" stuff.

 

[The Fuzz damn you!]

the ‘female character’ is ‘appearing naked in her costumes’

Sam the Eagle was never ever more relevant.

I've a theory for this. They were using ugly characters that's why average people could relate and considered it "normal"

Amazing how not Ellie, not even Dina, but fkn Abby got to show a nipple. That is almost a direct attack to people who likes girl-like girls.
Like, "we know you may like Ellie or Dina, but since we know you wont like Abby, here's her sex scene. Deal with it. We wont offer guys something they might like in our game."

Fuck you Druckmann.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Tommi84]

Yeah, I agree

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

I'm kind of bored at this point, because everytime this game shows up here, it's about the asses, it's about how based the devs for hot girls, nudity, so on.

I hope that's not all the game is. Because again, based on what is posted here, that is indeed all.

Good news. Lets us all hope it stays that way here and Sony doesn't touch it.

 

[Tomeru]

I dont think europe will get the same rating. Gotta order the koresn version (if possible).

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

She's not naked, sk just has some really weird views on sex lately

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

music to my ears

 

[Elysium44]

Ok, fine, pre-ordered

UK uses the Europe-wide system, not its own, and there are plenty of similar games which are PEGI 18 so I'm not sure why you're surprised.
