Korean rating board, The Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC), have officially rated Deep Silver's highly anticipated open-world shooter Saints Row. The rating has been published on the committee's website , confirming that Saints Row has received an 18+ rating, the highest rating for games in Korea.
The official description of the rating reveals that the game will feature excessive expression of violence, blood, crime and crime. On top of this, it allows players to attack and loot pedestrians and even has missions where players conduct insurance frauds.
Furthermore, the description reveals that Saints Row is bursting with excessive vulgarity and profanity during the dialogue between characters. It also has scenes that show direct drug use and alcohol drinking in a bar.
Oh, and there's a mention of "obscure parts" during character customisation but the translation wasn't quite right on that one so we don't really know what exactly this refers to.
Saints Row's visuals have been the subject of many discussions among players, who were disappointed by how cartoony the game looks when compared to earlier Saints Row games. That may be true but it looks like the game won't lack proper action and mature content, according to the Korean rating.
Saints Row is officially launching on August 23, 2022, for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
