LEGO Horizon Adventures Bares Its 'A*s' in ESRB Rating for PS5, PC, Switch | Push Square
Sony is publishing not one but two family-friendly games in 2024. While the world is loving PS5's superb 3D platformer Astro Bot, another equally all-ages title is due for release before Christmas: LEGO Horizon Adventures. Though a release date is yet to be announced (unless you believe a leak on PlayStation's website), a recent rating from ESRB (thanks, Wario64) does suggest it's not too far away.
The game, which is being released for PC and Nintendo Switch as well as PS5, has been awarded a rating of Everyone 10+, much like Astro Bot. Descriptors include depictions of fantasy violence and language, though it seems the latter will be pretty tame. One amusing detail in the rating's summary points out «The word 'a*s' is heard in the game», and that's as bad as it seemingly gets.
The rating also highlights «melee combat against LEGO cultists and robotic dinosaurs», featuring «punches, bows, and explosives». Having played a portion of LEGO Horizon Adventures earlier in the year, we can confidently say that anyone who's played any LEGO game in the last 20 years will know the level of cartoonish violence to expect here.
