It’s not much of a surprise, but Konami’s upcoming release of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has just received an M rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

So, what cause Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance to earn its M rating from the ESRB?  Things like blood, cursing, dismemberment, impalement, and the list goes on.  In other words, this isn’t exactly a game for the kiddos.  Here is the actual ESRB rating summary that offers further details on what type of good stuff you can expect from the game:

“This is an action game in which players assume the role of Raiden, a cybernetic soldier on a mission to stop a futuristic terrorist organization. Players use swords, guns, and rocket launchers to kill enemy cyborgs and giant robots in frenetic melee-style combat. Players can also employ stealth tactics (e.g., impaling/stabbing enemies close-up) to eliminate targets. Combat is fast-paced and frenetic, with realistic gunfire, explosions, and cries of pain.

Exaggerated blood splashes occur frequently when enemies are injured, and slow-motion effects highlight various finishing moves (e.g., dismembering enemies). Some cut scenes also depict intense acts of violence: a character impaled in slow motion; a close-up angle of dismemberment; a character's heart ripped out. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” can be heard in dialogue.”

Sounds pretty gory to me.  Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is set to release for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on February 19^th.
