I Am Alive Gets an ESRB Rating


Ubisoft has continued to be very quiet about the subject of I Am Alive. Short of confirming it's still in the works, it hasn't shown anything new in quite a long time. A teaser trailer popped up on YouTube last month and was subsequently pulled down, leaving us with little more than the year-plus-old trailer above to watch over and over. The game was assigned a rating in Australia back in June, showing us some sign of progress, and it's now also gotten one from the ESRB.

Listed for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 (so the game doesn't seem to be pulling an Alan Wake and abandoning PC), the game got a Mature rating, as one would expect. The description sounds very similar to what we've previously heard -- it's a third-person action game where you have to stay alive while trying to save your family in a post-apocalyptic world. It talks about using a machete to kill enemies and using finishing moves (complete with quick-time events) like impaling, pistol whipping, and throat slashing to take enemies out.

Beyond that, there isn't much in the way of new details; a good chunk of the description talks about sexual mistreatment of women, which should help to set the mood for what the game is all about.

So while there wasn't a whole lot new to be learned from the ESRB, what's important is that the game is still coming and seems to be closer than ever.
