The Entertainment Software Ratings Board has issued a verdict Star fieldand like the other games from Bethesda Game Studios (Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim) the spacefaring role-playing game will be an M for mature rated play. Expect violence, foul language, sex and drug use throughout Star field when the game releases later this summer.
When it comes to violence, players will use “futuristic guns, lasers, axes, and explosives to kill enemies,” according to the game’s ESRB content description. “Battles are fast paced, with frequent gunfire, cries of pain and explosions. Attacks on some enemies can lead to blood spatter; different environments show bloodstains on the ground around corpses.”
While the violence sounds graphic, the sex is in it Star field sounds pretty tame. The game’s review says players can “expect some suggestive material in dialogue, and after sharing a bed with characters.” The best of those suggestive lines? “I’m all for getting a little wild, but next time let’s try without the jetpacks,” as noted by the ESRB. Mine Star field character, who I will roleplay as if he has nothing But jetpack-equipped coitus, better not say that and break my immersion.
Finally, the review also reminds us of that Star field will get you high on that primo thing: space fish juice. Star field‘s favorite medicine is called Aurora, and as noted by Bethesda way back in 2021, players get something when they visit a destination called Neon, a “pleasure town” built on a massive fishing facility. That facility processes a type of psychotropic fish that creates the naturally occurring drug, and according to the ESRB, players may even be able to work there at some point in the game.
Star field is scheduled for Windows PC and Xbox Series X on September 6. The game will launch on Game Pass on day one. In June, Bethesda and Microsoft promise a deep dive Star field in a live stream titled Starfield Direct.
