Dark Souls II recebeu a surpreendente classificação "T for Teen" do órgão ESRB, ou seja, recomendado para pessoas com 13 anos ou mais.

O primeiro jogo foi classificado com "M for Mature" (17+ anos). Na descrição da classificação de Dark Souls II, a princípio, nada mudou, contendo ainda coisas como sangue, decepamento, linguaguem forte, nudez parcial e violência.

Confira abaixo na íntegra:

This is a role-playing game in which players assume the role of an undead fighter in the realm of Drangleic. Players traverse dungeon-like settings and battle a variety of fantastical enemies (e.g., ghouls, zombies, skeletons, giant rats) to gain souls. Players use knives, swords, and arrows to defeat enemies.

Combat is highlighted by cries of pain and small splashes of blood. Some locations depict instances of blood and gore: a giant snake boss holding its severed head; a giant boss creature composed of hundreds of corpses; dead ogres near a pool of blood; a torture device with streaks of blood. During the course of the game, a boss creature appears partially topless (e.g. hair barely covering breasts). The words ‘bastard’ and “pr*ck” can be heard in the dialogue.
