Bethesda Softworks’ highly anticipated open-world role-playing game, Starfield, is getting more and more revealed as its release date approaches. The game continues to make people talk and while the Xbox Games Showcase and the Starfield Direct next June are the next unmissable meetings, it is new information on the content of the game that is discovered.
The presence of sexual dialogue and drugs confirmed by the ESRB
Today, it is the details related to elements related to violence, the presence of drugs and sex in the game that interest us. According to the latest information presented in the ESRB report (the Entertainment Software Rating Board, US regulatory body), Starfield promises fast-paced combat, with futuristic weapons such as guns, lasers, axes and explosives. Downed enemies can result in blood splatters and bloodstains on the ground, adding a touch of realism to the Starfield universe.
In addition to the intense action, Starfield also contains suggestive elements in the dialogues: “Life is a sexually transmitted disease that is one hundred percent fatal” or “I’m okay with a little raging , but next time, let’s try without the jetpacks”.
Players will also be able to obtain a fictional drug called Aurora, which plays an important role in the game, including a section where the characters work in an illicit drug lab. Players will also be able to purchase Aurora from vendors, and consuming it causes on-screen distortion (the ESRB summary mentions this Aurora-related quote: “Talk about seeing stars, phew. .. it was amazing.”)
As we might have guessed, the developers at Starfield chose to target an adult audience with this game, with the presence of foul language like the words “f**k” and “bullsh*t” in the game. For gamers looking for a mature and immersive gaming experience, Starfield seems like a very promising option.
Starfield will be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC on September 6, 2023. It will also be accessible upon release via Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
