Today on July 25, the Game Content Classification Committee of South Korea rated Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for ages 12 and up. This is the first rating for Beyond by any video games rating board in the world.

The GCCC’s description of Beyond is as follows (translated using Google): “Mild Violence (using weapons attached to the suit to attack alien lifeforms). Therefore, it has been rated as ‘for ages 12 and up.’ in accordance with Article 21 of the Act on the Promotion of the Game Industry and Article 7, Paragraph 2 of the Rating Classification Regulations”. The rating also confirms that Samus is sent to Viewros after her encounter with Sylux at the beginning of the game.

We still don’t have a release date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. As soon as we know when it’s coming, we’ll bring the announcement straight to you.
