Specialists have evaluated God of War Ragnarok and delivered their verdict on the game. This reveals what can be expected in the game

The ESRB has given God of War Ragnarok an M age rating. This means that GoW Ragnarok is a game “for mature audiences” (or “17+”).

A description on the ESRB website offers a bit more insight into God of War Ragnarok.

For instance, characters in God of War Ragnarok engage in “frenetic hand-to-hand combat.” They wield axes and blades, allowing players to see frequent blood-splatter effects, dismemberment, and the execution of brutal finishing attacks, including decapitation. The words “fuck” and “shit” can be heard in the game.

God of War Ragnarok is scheduled for release on November 9 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
