‘Man of Medan’ Rated; ESRB Report Includes New Story Details
It was pretty much a given that Supermassive Games’ upcoming The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan was going to be slapped with an M rating by the ESRB. Which is exactly what’s happened.
However, as with the usual submission for ratings, we’ve also been given privy to plot details that we wouldn’t normally have gotten at this point. With that in mind, *POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD*.
With the ESRB report, we learn that the only reason the group is there on the boat in the first place is because they’ve been kidnapped by someone. If you’ve been paying attention to the gameplay demos for Man of Medan, that shouldn’t come as a massive surprise. Those demos have shown at least two of the gang being ordered around the ship at gunpoint.
And as with Supermassive’s previous effort in Until Dawn, players are given choices which could lead to a character’s demise. These include characters being shot in the head, a man getting his ear cut off, a character stabbed in the chest with a knife, and a corpse’s body being eaten by rats.
And as with the usual horror tropes, there’s some nice innuendo and swearing by the characters. Not to mention some references to meth and other drugs.
In other words, fun for the whole family!
Man of Medan hits PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on August 30.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
