As one might expect the ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) rating for the game is “M” for Mature, and the description talks about fighting with dragons, trolls, centaurs and the like, along with the game featuring curse words like “shit” and “fuck” which should be expected given the first game featured similar language tones.

Rating Summary

This is an action-adventure game in which players help Kratos and his son on a dangerous quest. Players explore various realms and engage in frenetic hand-to-hand combat against human-like raiders and fantastical creatures (e.g., centaurs, trolls, dragons). Players use axes and chained blades to battle enemies, often resulting in large blood-splatter effects and dismemberment. Players can perform finishing attacks that depict close-up impalement via bladed and hand-held weapons; repeated axe strikes to a creature’s neck results in decapitation. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” are heard in the game.

Sony gave us a look at God of War Ragnarok via a new trailer highlighting the game’s story. 

God of War Ragnarok releases this November 9, priced at a $69.99 for the PS5 and $59.99 for the PS4.
