[00:00] What's up everybody, Damian here and in today's gaming news, are you sitting down? GTA6's ESRB rating is in, plus 007 First Light's new downloadable content is here, but Crimson Deserts has been delayed. This is your daily fix.
[00:22] Finally, Rockstar has revealed the ESRB rating for Grand Theft Auto 6, and it's about as mature as you'd expect it to be. Yes, GTA 6 will be getting an M for Mature rating for all the obvious reasons a GTA game would get an M rating.
[00:35] According to the ESRB, there will be sex, there will be, quote, blood and gore, intense violence, mature humor, nudity, strong language, strong sexual content, use of drugs, and alcohol. Now, we're still waiting for the ESRB to post its more in-depth breakdown,
[00:48] where they provide references to scenes and content in the game. Sometimes those breakdowns provide details on story and gameplay elements, so we'll keep an eye out. Fans have also been speculating about whether or not Jason and Lucia will have sex on screen in GTA 6, for example,
[01:01] so it's possible that the ESRB's detailed breakdown will confirm or squash those theories. Rockstar previously got into trouble back in the mid-2000s with the release of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, as the game had an interactive sex minigame buried in its files.
[01:13] The minigame was cut from the final game, but modders were able to add it back in via the infamous Hot Coffee mod. As a result of the pornographic content, the ESRB re-rated the game to an AO rating, adults only, effectively banning it from retailers. This led to a brief recall and scrutiny from government
[01:28] officials. GTA's 4 and 5 also allowed players to pick up sex workers and have sex with them in their vehicle, but it wasn't a minigame in the same vein as San Andreas Hot Coffee Mod. GTA 6's release is next month November 19th so we won have to wait too long to see the game in all its glory Moving on 007 First Light first DLC is available now and adds a New Game Plus mode First Light Extended Operations is out now for free and adds five different missions to the
[01:53] tax-in mode, new outfits, a photo mode, and the aforementioned New Game Plus. Four of the new operations will revolve around the Valhalla, the supercar in the campaign that you get to play with like once. These missions appear to be driving trials where you use the car's weapons and gadgets
[02:06] to complete challenges on a timer. The new game plus mode also has a 00 difficulty, which is supposedly harder than the purist difficulty in the base game. Enemies are going to react faster, some NPCs are swapped for more difficult variants,
[02:18] and combat is going to be way more unforgiving, with two hit kills and a tighter parry window. Will you be diving back into 007 First Light after this update? Let us know in the comments. And speaking of DLC, the Crimson Desert,
[02:30] Charting the Unknown expansion has been delayed by two weeks. First revealed in late August, developer Pearl Abyss had originally announced a very ambitious October 15th release date. Unfortunately, it seems that target was a little too ambitious. In a post on Twitter,
[02:42] the Crimson Desert team said, quote, We have determined that we need additional development time to deliver a more polished and stable gameplay experience. Therefore, we have decided to move the DLC's release by two weeks to October 29th. Charting the Unknown will add a new zone, sea exploration, and more base
[02:56] building options. The game was first launched back in March but was mired with technical and and gameplay issues that have since been ironed out. In August, the game was relaunched as Crimson Desert Enhanced with a more fleshed-out story and was made available for free to all existing owners.
[03:09] The update had a much better reception than the original launch. And that is your Daily Fix for Thursday, October 1st. It's officially spooky season, so check out our review of Mike Flanagan's Carrie, or if blood and guts are more your thing,
