The ESRB has rated Dragon Quest Builders on its official website and a lot of details have been revealed about the upcoming game.
Dragon Quest Builders has been rated E for everyone over the age of 10. The content descriptors are: “Alcohol Reference, Fantasy Violence, Mild Blood, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes”
The rating summary says: “This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of a hero who must rebuild the world using the power of creation. Players traverse environments, gather and combine raw materials, build structures, and engage in combat against attacking monsters (e.g., skeletons, golems, dragons). Players use swords, hammers, and bombs to defeat enemies; most attacks cause enemies to burst/fall apart on the battlefield before disappearing.
One enemy creature (“bloody hand”) is depicted as a hand covered in red slime. The game also contains some suggestive text/dialogue (e.g., “Scandalous Swimsuit: Racy red swimwear for those who like to show some skin” and “When night falls, do the two of you retire to the same room to spend some special time together.”). During the course of the game, players can acquire or craft a “beer barrel” item. The words “damn” and “hell” appear in text/dialogue.”
Dragon Quest Builders was released earlier this year in Japan, but will be out in North America and Europe this October. It will be out for the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita consoles.
