Learnings from Silksong ESRB Rating Pending - Speculation
1,118What could we possibly learn from Silksong based on the trailer's ESRB Rating Pending rating?? Turns out....
When I saw the Rating Pending on the Hollow Knight Silksong Trailer, I was confused. I am way more use to seeing trailers with ratings that say 'not yet rated'. Makes sense now.
The Rating Pending led me to three main questions:
1. How long does it take to get rated?
2. What info does Team Cherry need to submit to get rated?
3. Can Team Cherry add more gameplay to Silksong after the rating has been submitted?
- How long does it take to get a game rated?
Only 5-7 business days! That is super short and I found super surprising. I am surprised that they could not submit in time before the trailer went public. That or the rating took a bit longer than expected.
- What info must be submitted to the ESRB?
The most "pertinent" info such as blood, gore, fighting, drugs, alcahol etc.
A questionnaire is filled out online.
Then a video anywhere from 30min to 5hrs long is submitted.
It is not a demo build or a completed version of the game
- Can Team Cherry keep developing and adding more content?
Yes, The ESRB rating will be good even for any DLC. The only change would be if TC added something over and beyond what was rated.
The video that I checked out for info on the ESRB rating is here
