The Stellar Blade\u2019s demo was really fun and absolutely action-packed. However, CERO, you denied our Dead Space a rating because it included cross-sections of severed body parts and internal organs, but here we have both cross-sections and insides on display passed off with a CERO D rating. I find this hard to accept&#8230;<\/em>\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The disparity between Stellar Blade\u2019s gore and its CERO D rating has prompted a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SeptillionGames\/status\/1782084878005375254\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">response<\/a> from Electronic Arts Japan\u2019s General Manager Shaun Noguchi. While Noguchi offers nothing but praise for Stellar Blade itself (even encouraging people to buy it), he questions the CERO rating system and its apparent inconsistency. He mentions that EA\u2019s Dead Space (released in January 2023) was denied a CERO rating due to \u201cdepictions of cross-sections of severed body parts and internal organs.\u201d As video games cannot be released on consoles (physically) in Japan without a CERO rating, the initially planned console releases of Dead Space were cancelled, and the game could only be released on PC in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noguchi\u2019s words indicate that Dead Space was not even eligible for a CERO Z (18+) rating, while Stellar Blade received the lower CERO D rating even though it contains depictions similar to what Dead Space was rejected for. Again, Noguchi <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SeptillionGames\/status\/1782084878005375254\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stresses<\/a> that he has no intention to criticize Stellar Blade, but rather to express his dissatisfaction with Japan\u2019s ambiguous rating process for console games.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned previously, console games in Japan can only be released after having been reviewed and assigned a rating by the appropriate organization. For physical releases, publishers are more or less obligated to request a review from the Japan-based CERO. For digital-only titles, publishers also have the option of requesting a rating from the overseas-based IARC, but there are exceptions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240422-290587-001.jpg\" alt=\"Shift Up's Stellar Blade will release in Japan uncensored with a CERO D (17+) rating - this decision has caused criticism of the rating system.\" class=\"wp-image-29919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240422-290587-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240422-290587-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240422-290587-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240422-290587-001-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting March 2022, the Japanese PlayStation Store started accepting IARC ratings in addition to the existing CERO ratings for digital-only releases (<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20220310-194938\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Related article<\/a>). On the other hand, titles intended for ages 18 and older still require a CERO rating. In other words, SIE still requires the acquisition of a CERO rating for physical and digital sales of games that are rated 18 or older under the IARC generic rating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As was the case with the previously mentioned Dead Space, CERO rating-related troubles have led to publishers making big changes to their sales plans. One example is the 2022 sci-fi horror The Callisto Protocol, which had its Japanese release cancelled for failing to obtain a CERO rating (<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20221027-16440\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Related article<\/a>). The title never made it to consoles or PC in Japan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under current circumstances, distributors can be forced to change their plans drastically or cancel a release entirely depending on CERO&#8217;s decision, especially if their game contains some form of explicit content. In his thread on X, Noguchi comments that many titles have been victims of CERO\u2019s \u201cvague\u201d review process. He <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SeptillionGames\/status\/1782085862412693826\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hopes<\/a> for the introduction of a more transparent system and criteria, such as a checklist or point system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240422-290587-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240422-290587-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240422-290587-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240422-290587-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240422-290587-002-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Dead Space (2023)\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to CERO&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cero.gr.jp\/publics\/index\/17\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official website<\/a>, their reviewers are recruited from the general public and consist of men and women in their 20s to 60s from various occupations. After undergoing training by CERO, they examine content based on a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cero.gr.jp\/publics\/index\/17\/#block47\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">27 items subject to review<\/a>. Each item on the list has its upper limit, and depictions that exceed the tolerated range are designated as &#8220;banned expressions.&#8221; Games found to contain banned expressions are denied a CERO rating. Based on what Noguchi is saying, it seems CERO does not communicate clearly to manufacturers about what exactly these upper limits are, resulting in an ambiguous rating process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sellar Blade is scheduled to be released on April 26 for the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-us\/product\/UP9000-PPSA13196_00-STELLARBLADE0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PS5<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><br>Written by.
