IGN reports that the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight has received an “M for Mature” rating from the ESRB, the first in the series to do so, and developer Rocksteady isn’t seeking to alter it.

“From our point of view, we never wrote it or made it with a rating in mind,” Founder of Rocksteady Sefton Hill says. “We never did that in the previous two games… We just felt that this is the story that we really wanted to tell.

“I’m not blind to the fact that [the M rating] does mean some fans will miss out… I don’t want to be oblivious to that fact. It would have been wrong to water down the game and deliver a story we didn’t believe in to keep the game ‘mass market’ or enable it for more people. We feel that’s the wrong way to go about it. We said we love the story and we don’t want to jeopardize that.”

In the explosive finale to the “Arkham” series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy The Dark Knight forever.

Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady’s uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the “Batman Arkham” series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City.

Batman: Arkham Knight will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on June 2, 2015.
