Robotics;Notes Elite rated by the ESRB, possible release date coming soon

The ESRB has rated Robotics;Notes Elite! This upcoming visual novel from Spike Chunsoft was announced back in July 2019 with a release window for 2020. Here’s the rating description:

This is an adventure game in which players follow the story of a high-school student solving a mystery involving robotics. As players progress through the narrative, they may encounter instances of violence: a man pointing a gun at characters; a woman jumping off a cliff (off-screen) to her death; a woman pointing a gun at her head. In some sequences, players can briefly engage in robot battles, as players enter commands (e.g., on-screen prompts) to see attacks performed. In a handful of sequences, blood is seen pooling underneath a character’s leg and staining a man’s hands. The game also contains references to sexual material in the dialogue (e.g., “This sl*t is trying to be sexy”; “Mitsuhiko, you’re gonna get sued for sexual harassment”; “You put sleeping pills in this, didn’t you? Then while I’m asleep, you’re gonna have your way with me”; “If possible, I wanted to gaze upon your nude bod for a little longer.”). The word “sh*t” appears in the game.

Robotics;Notes Elite is releasing for PS4, Switch and PC in the west this year. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news!
