Batman: Arkham Knight makes the jump from Teen to Mature in the ESRB rating system

26 Feb 2015

Rocksteady’s third (and last?) Batman: Arkham game, Arkham Knight, has ditched the franchise’s ‘Teen’ ESRB rating in America for the dark and gritty ‘Mature’ one.

The Entertainment Software Ratings Board says that Batman: Arkham Knight contains blood, language, suggestive themes and violence, and as such, delivered the ‘Mature’ rating.

Batman: Arkham Knight has also been classified as ‘M’ for ‘Mature’ in Australia… but then again, so too was Batman: Arkham Origins, Arkham City and Arkham Asylum. The ACB cites moderate impact themes and violence.

Batman: Arkham Knight will be available from 2 June on PS4, Xbox One and Windows PC.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
