There are frequent and strong depictions of violence and gore. Certain attacks may depict characters being impaled, dismembered or decapitated, or trigger an x-ray view of the opponent’s bones and skulls fracturing, or internal organs bursting from the impact of attacks. At the end of matches, the victor is given the opportunity to execute a gory finishing move called a ‘Fatality’ on the defeated opponent. These moves require the input of relevant button combinations within a short window of time, and will result in a cinematic scene showing characters being impaled, disembowelled, decapitated, dismembered or bisected.The player may encounter a mini-game in certain game modes, where a decapitated head may be presented to the player character to destroy, in order to progress. Story scenes also depict strong violence, such as characters being impaled in the eyes. These depictions are in a fantasy context, and the ‘Fatalities’ occur infrequently given the overall length of matches. The M18 guidelines allow for “depictions of realistic violence, such as killing, maiming or causing other serious injury to humanoid characters”.
