Emio Gets M Rating In Australia and Includes Horrific Mature Themes
While Nintendo has not revealed a lot of details about Emio yet, a new rating from Australia’s Classification Board has given us some hints on what this new game will be about.
This new game has been given an MA15+ rating due to “strong themes, violence, and suicide references.” More specifically, the rating mentions “violence, cruelty, domestic abuse, and suicide themes,” suggesting that this game is not for the faint of heart.
Moreover, in the United States too, the game received an M rating from the ESRB for mature content like strong language, intense violence, and sexual themes. However, the Australian rating provides more specific details, highlighting disturbing elements such as domestic abuse and suicide.
Nintendo’s Emio Trailer
Apart from the rating, we also got a new trailer from Nintendo that features the hashtag “Who is Emio,” leaving much to the imagination. However, it does end with Japanese text translating to “smiling man,” adding a horror twist to the game.
Some fans earlier thought that Emio might be related to a new Switch console, but the mature rating from both the US and Australian boards confirms it’s a horror game.
Moreover, there’s also speculation that Bloober Team, known for horror games like “Layers of Fear” and “The Medium,” might be involved in this project as earlier they announced they were working on a new title for Nintendo platforms.
As for Emio’s release, some gamers believe that it might be released in 2024, possibly around Halloween as it would be fitting for a horror game. However, we will not know anything for sure until Nintendo announces something.
Overall, Emio is a new horror game from Nintendo with mature themes, and its trailer and mature rating have sparked a lot of curiosity and excitement. So, if you like horror games or are interested in Nintendo’s new project, you should definitely keep an eye out for more news about this new title.
