Highly-anticipated third-person shooter Helldivers 2 has received an official rating from the ESRB, the official rating body in the United States.
The game is to have a 'Mature/17+# rating attached to it, and the rating on the ESRB website goes into detail about why - and it's mainly down to "intense violence". As spotted by Eurogamer, Helldivers 2 getting a rating isn't unexpected - and neither are the details that it contains, given what we know about the game already - however, a rating usually comes soonish before a release date, so we could be in for an imminent announcement. For example, a game wouldn't be in a state to receive a rating from the ESRB if it were still deep in development, or even many months from release.
