WWE 2K14 Has Been Given a "Teen" Rating By the ESRB

The upcoming WWE and 2K Sports release, WWE 2K14, has been given a “Teen” rating by the ESRB. The ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) claims that WWE 2K14 must be rated teen due to the use of weapons, beer trucks, beer cans, middle fingers, cleavage, and more.

Below is the ESRB’s entire rating summary for WWE 2K14, which will be available in the US on October 29th.

Platform: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Rating Category:
Content Descriptors: Blood, Language, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol, Violence
Other: Includes online features that may expose players to unrated user-generated content (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3)
Rating Summary: This is a wrestling simulation game in which players can select real-world competitors from the WWE roster, compete in matches, and progress through multiple storylines. Players perform a variety of wrestling moves (e.g., grapples, holds, throws), as well as punching and kicking attacks. Sledgehammers, chairs, and tables can also be used to strike opponents; blood sometimes appears on wrestlers’ faces. Some women are depicted in outfits that expose large amounts of cleavage; female wrestlers occasionally make provocative gestures (e.g., pelvic thrusts, wiggling their buttocks in front of opponents’ faces as a taunt). During the course of the game, a handful of sequences depict/reference alcohol: a wrestler wearing a “Drink Beer” shirt and spraying his opponents with a “beer truck” hose; a wrestler drinking from beer cans. One video clip briefly depicts the word “sh*t” on a fan’s sign, and a wrestler can be seen sticking out his middle fingers.
