P.J. Esteves has commented on the possibility of sex scenes in the upcoming Xbox One exclusive title, Ryse: Son of Rome. In a video interview with Ganeswekt on November 8, the design director hinted that several missions from the action-adventure video game include “risqué portions.”
Although P.J. Esteves can’t talk much about it, he did confirm that there will be some of these sequences in the video game. He went on to state that the sexual contents are “fine” in Germany. However, the development had to “cut some stuff out” for release in the United States.
“Well, let’s just say that there are certain missions in the game that have risqué portions. I can’t talk more about it. It’s fine in Germany. That’s okay in Germany. In the United States States, we had to cut some stuff out but, yeah, there are some. I mean it’s the Roman Empire, you know, and everyone knows what the Roman Empire was about. So we tried to keep it tasteful but at the same time we also rallied from history, you know, and try to make you feel like you are in that time period. And that’s not a euphemism for something.”
The Entertainment Software Rating Board recently disclosed that the United States version of Ryse: Son of Rome features partial nudity and sexual content. Some females in the game appear topless with body paint and pastries covering exposed areas. Furthermore, one sequence also implied a female giving fellatio. No explicit sex scene was mentioned in the rating summary.
