The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt release date is inching closer to gamers who are eager to take on Geralt's new adventure, however, it might not just be for everyone as the new game receives an 'M' rating from ESRB.
Based on official description that was released on the ESRB website, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is filled with strong sexual content, brutal violence, and foul language.
The full description reads:
"This is an open-world role-playing game in which players assume the role of Geralt, a monster hunter in search of a missing woman. Players explore a war-ravaged world while completing quests and killing enemy soldiers and fantastical creatures (e.g., wraiths, harpies, rock beasts).
Characters engage in melee-style combat using swords and other bladed weapons, as well as magical attacks (e.g., blasts of fire, stun spells); combat is highlighted by screams of pain and impact sounds. Large blood-splatter effects occur when enemies are slashed, with some attacks resulting in decapitation or dismemberment.
Some cutscenes depict slow-motion decapitations and other gore: an autopsy of a torture victim, rooms with several corpses (e.g., hanging from the ceiling, covered in blood on a bed, naked in a tub).
During the course of the game, the central character can engage in sexual activity with prostitutes and female companions. These brief sequences depict females' breasts and buttocks-sexual moaning sounds can be heard, though the camera cuts away from explicit sexual acts.
The game includes a side quest in which Geralt engages in a drinking game; characters are depicted drunk and/or passed out. The words "f**k," "sh*t," and "c*nt" can be heard in the dialogue."
Content Descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Use of Alcohol
Based on the above description from ESRB, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is not for people who don't have stomach for blood gore, extreme violence, and lewd sexual scenes but for other gamers, all these could mean a grown-up kind of delightful treats from CD Projekt RED.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt release date is set to arrive in Xbox One, PS4, PC versions and hit shelves on May 19.
