Age Ratings

Expanded thin article with confirmed pre-launch detail (2026-05-09)
Fatekeeper carries adult-leaning age ratings in several regions. Three regional boards have already issued ratings ahead of launch, all of them in the upper half of their scales. The store listing confirms the ratings and the content descriptors, while several major Western boards have not yet published their decisions.
The ratings below are the ones that appear on the official store listing today. Additional regions, including ESRB and PEGI, are expected to be added closer to launch.
Region | Rating | Descriptor |
|---|---|---|
Brazil (DEJUS) | 16 | Extreme violence |
Germany (Steam) | 18 | Drastic violence |
Indonesia (IGRS) | 18 | Violence |
The store listing's content descriptor is the clearest explanation. Combat in Fatekeeper depicts realistic violence and blood, with a chance-based dismemberment system that can sever limbs in melee finishers. The ratings boards are responding to that on-screen detail. See Finishers and Dismemberment for the gameplay-side explanation of the same content.
Worth noting: the descriptor specifies that all violent content is directed at fantasy creatures, not at humans depicted realistically. That distinction tends to keep ratings out of the very highest "Adults Only" tier in some regions, even when the gore detail is high.
Realistic violence. Combat damage is shown with appropriate impact, including weapon hits and creature reactions.
Blood. Visible blood effects accompany damaging hits. Quantity is tied to the weapon and the killing blow.
Chance-based dismemberment. A finishing strike can remove limbs from defeated enemies. The chance is tied to weapon type and the perks the player has invested in.
Fantasy targets only. Every violent encounter is against fantasy creatures, not against realistically depicted humans.
ESRB, PEGI, ACB, USK (the standalone German rating outside Steam's self-rating), and several regional boards have not yet issued public ratings for Fatekeeper. Pre-launch material does not include them. They are expected to land closer to the actual release window. Until those ratings are published, the three above are the only confirmed entries.
Whether the ESRB rating will land at M or AO given the dismemberment content.
Whether PEGI will issue a 16 or 18 rating, and which content descriptors it will attach.
Whether the chance-based dismemberment is configurable in a settings menu (a question relevant to several regions' content rules).
Whether release-window patches or content updates change the descriptor list.
