If the infamous “Red Band” trailer wasn’t convincing enough, the ESRB has officially released the rating-description for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes.
Hideo Kojima has already stated that Metal Gear Solid V will push the boundaries of “mature” video games; the idea is in full bloom within the “Red Band” trailer for MGSV: The Phantom Pain, showing unsettling scenes of torture and gore. With the release of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes coming up in March, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board has released the official description behind Ground Zeroes‘s “M/Mature” rating; apart from the standard language and violence, according to the ESRB, Ground Zeroes also contains a depiction of sexual assault, presented to the player through some form of audio log:

According to Kotaku, Ground Zeroes is also one of only two games to feature depictions of “sexual violence”, with the other being a PC-exclusive Japanese visual-novel. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes releases on 3/18 in both physical and digital formats for 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4.
