Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut gets rated by the ESRB

The Entertainment Software Rating Board, or the ESRB, has rated the unannounced Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut for both PS5 and PS4.

Currently, there is no official announcement yet for Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut but with ESRB rating the game already, it means that an official announcement is imminent. Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut will make it the second Director’s Cut game that Sony will release for PlayStation, following the recently announced Death Stranding: Director’s Cut.

Here’s the rating of the ESRB of Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut:

This is an action game in which players assume the role of a samurai (Jin Sakai) on a quest for vengeance against Mongol invaders in 13th century Japan. Players traverse open-world environments, interact with characters, complete quests (e.g., assassinations), and infiltrate enemy strongholds. Players use samurai swords, poison darts, and arrows to battle enemies in third-person melee-style combat. Some attacks result in dismemberment/decapitation of enemy soldiers, often accompanied by large blood-splatter effects. Players can also perform assassination kills (e.g., neck stabbing, sword impalement) to dispatch enemies quietly. Cutscenes depict additional acts of intense violence: a soldier lit on fire and beheaded; bound civilians lit on fire and burned at the stake; a decapitated man’s head held up towards the screen. The game also depicts a man’s exposed buttocks as he bathes in a hot spring. The word “sh*t” appears in the game.

Ghost of Tsushima is available now for PS4.
