ESRB Explains More About Death Stranding

Not a lot has been revealed about Death Stranding’s plot, but a recent ESRB listing does tell us more about what the player will be doing.

Death Stranding is a PS4 exclusive and has been rated M for mature players over the age of 17. The game contains: Blood, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity and Strong Language.

The game will be released worldwide on November 8th, 2019. You can see the rating summary for the game posted down below.

This is an action game in which players assume the role of a courier (Sam Porter) transporting packages across a post-apocalyptic environment. As players traverse mountainous terrain, they can be attacked by human settlers and ghostly apparitions. Players use machine guns, grenades, and shotguns to kill enemies; firefights are highlighted by realistic gunfire, large splashes of blood, and cries of pain. Cutscenes contain more intense instances of violence: a man and an infant shot—the latter, accidentally (blood splatter appears below the infant); a character shooting a comatose patient in the head; a man stabbing himself repeatedly in the distance. A handful of scenes depict a character with his buttocks exposed. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” appear in the dialogue.
