"Tom Clancy's The Division" received an M or Mature rating from Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) for the extreme violence, bloodshed and explicit language contained in the highly anticipated tactical shooter to be released by Ubisoft in a couple of months' time.
This comes as little surprise to gamers since most games under this genre usually receive such rating. In the rating description provided by ESRB, the agency described the battles "realistic," such as the tactical fire fights and basically the gameplay altogether.
"Characters mostly use machine guns, shotguns, turrets, and grenades to kill enemies. Combat is highlighted by realistic gunfire, screams of pain, and large splashes of blood," the description read. The use of profane language in "Tom Clancy's The Division" also contributed to the rating.
"Several sequences depict corpses, some tied up or hanging from railings, and players must rescue hostages in some levels of the game. Cutscenes occasionally depict bound hostages being stabbed or shot in the head," the rest of the description dictated.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that players can explore Manhattan and Brooklyn in "Tom Clancy's The Division." While the game is set in a post-apocalyptic New York plagued by a deadly virus, it will also allow players to actually set foot in the aforementioned cities.
In fact, developers over at Ubisoft meticulously recreated both areas for the game to mirror them as closely as possible. Manhattan and Brooklyn will serve as living worlds that go from day to night and they have dynamic weather as well.
"Tom Clancy's The Division" will be released for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC on March 8, 2016. Ubisoft has already conducted closed alpha tests of the game, with Xbox One players that pre-ordered the game as the exclusive participants.
A beta build will be released by the game studio soon, this time for PS4 and PC gamers.
