Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Now Rated Mature For Nudity
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion video game will not be recalled, but will be relabeled to reflect a stricter “mature” industry rating, Bethesda Softworks, the game’s developer and co-publisher said in a statement on Thursday. For those that haven’t played Oblivion the graphics are amazing and those that have it say it’s great.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) on Wednesday revoked its “teen” rating on the title. It cited excessive gore and an art file in the game’s PC version that can be modified with a third-party download that lets players change file settings to make the female characters appear topless. “Teen” rated games are deemed suitable for players ages 13 and up, while content in “mature” games may be suitable for those aged 17 and older. Bethesda handled the game’s ratings application and said it will work with co-publisher 2K Games, a Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. publishing label, to put new “mature” rating stickers on “Oblivion” packaging now in stores and warehouses. The rating change will be reflected in the packaging of the new games.
