Rating Summary
Diablo® IV is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, and Language. Also includes Users Interact and In-Game Purchases. This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the roles of heroes battling the forces of Hell. From a 3/4-overhead perspective, players explore dungeons and battle demons in frenetic melee-style combat. Players use swords, axes, maces, and magical attacks to kill enemy creatures. Blood-splatter effects occur as characters are hit; some attacks result in dismemberment and/or decapitation. Several environments depict large blood stains, with mutilated bodies on spikes and torsos with exposed entrails/viscera. Cutscenes depict more intense acts of violence: a man slitting his throat to complete a ritual; close-up depiction of a man mauled and eaten by attack guards. The word “sh*t” appears in the game.
