The ESRB has released a rating description for Bloodborne. The PS4 RPG, which you can preorder with this link, ended up getting a Mature rating. For reference, both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls also got tagged for Mature while Dark Souls 2 ended up being put into the Teen category.

While you are at it, you might also want to pick up the Bloodborne Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide, which is currently 22% off on Amazon.

And so the nightly hunt begins...

From the same team that created the critically acclaimed Dark Souls II guide comes a new invaluable treasure. We've gone behind the scenes with Bloodborne's creators to unearth every secret hidden within the mysterious city of Yharnam. Your hunt through the streets of Yharnam will be your most exciting and rewarding journey yet, and the road will be hard. But fear not! This guide is your key to mastering the merciless challenges and navigating the darkest depths of the city.

BONUS CHEST

=> Exclusive interview with Bloodborne's creator, Hidetaka Miyazaki

=> Lore index to aid in your research of this dark world

=> The Art of Bloodborne — every page is a masterpiece of its own

=> Exclusive Dynamic Theme: let the Hunter's Mark adorn your PS4

Training Manual

Yharnam's no place for novice hunters. Understanding how Bloodborne works starts here, and anyone who doesn't arm themselves with understanding of its intricate systems will be quickly cut down.

Hunting Grounds

From the streets of Yharnam to the end of the nightmare, critical routes and rewarding detours are plotted on detailed, invaluable maps. Text points highlight events, encounters, and tactics for each area's key landmarks. This hunter's compendium leaves no paving stone unturned.

The Bestiary

A good hunter knows his enemy's weaknesses. He knows their behavior. He knows what it takes to kill them efficiently. Study your prey carefully and discover all of the elements that make them what they are — and then the hunt is on!

Arsenal & Attire

Your weapon's only lethal if you know how to use it. Here you'll learn about weapon properties, hidden damage modifiers, attack ranges, swing speeds, and much more. Whether you're hunting beasts or other hunters, you'll have the knowledge... and the advantage.

The Chalice Dungeons

These mean labyrinths of death provide an unending treasure trove of discovery and despair. Though the walls may shift and the denizens may change, we have prepared exhaustive notes detailing the horrifying and mysterious Chalice Dungeons. Their rewards are matched only by their challenge; don't rush in unprepared.

Hunter's Appendices

The world of Bloodborne is deep and populated by fascinating people and deadly creatures. Finding all of the NPCs is a first step, and completing their quests is another. We offer more than that, though; here you will find behind the scenes info on the world and its characters from the people who created it! If you seek 100% completion and total mastery of Yharnam, search no further.

Does that include a warning for terrifying frame rate drops?

I'm looking forward to all the impressions and reviewers wishing they could play it on PC at 60FPS like DS1 and DS2.

Much like Batman this is a real change for the series. I wonder if the M rating will mean it will sell less copies. The T rating on the dark souls games helped make it more mainstream.

Uhh, Dark Souls 2 was the only game in the series without an M rating. And that's just because there wasn't any blood when you attacked an enemy or got attacked yourself.

Dark Souls 1 still sold very well with an M rating. 2.4 million copies sold as of 2013, or something. I'm not sure how Dark Souls 2 has sold (most likely it's sold more than Dark Souls 1) but the rating doesn't have an effect on it being mainstream or not.

There is now a Bloodborne sticky for all Bloodborne discussion.
