Although a final determination has yet to be made, Electronic Arts is hoping its upcoming sci-fi shooter Star Wars Battlefrontwill receive a T-for-Teen rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board.
"Star Wars Battlefront is still rated 'RP' (Rating Pending) but we're targeting a rating of 'T' for Teen," the developer said through thegame's Twitter account.
This isn't all that surprising. Overall, Star Wars isn't really considered a "mature" brand, nor is it necessarily a "kids" franchise either, which is why it probably won't receive an E or M rating. In addition, history is on the side of a T rating, as the first two Battlefront games each received T ratings from the ESRB.
Battlefront doesn't launch until November, but you can play it right now through an open beta on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. This pre-release trial period runs through October 12. It's already producing some excellent videos, including this one where Luke Skywalker gets squished by an AT-AT.
