DRAKAN Order of the Flame to Ship With Gore Lockout

DRAKAN Order of the Flame to Ship With Gore Lockout landed today, giving players another thing to circle on the calendar.

Addressing the violence in games issue head-on is behind the announcement. Addressing the violence in games issue head-on, Psygnosis announced today that its forthcoming PC game, DRAKAN Order of the Flame, will include a gore lockout option that enables parents to restrict the level of graphic violence viewed by their children.

Psygnosis believes that the inclusion of this password-protected violence reduction feature will help ensure that the violent content will not hinder the game’s mass market appeal when it hits the shelves in North America on August 20th. Although DRAKAN is a fantasy action/adventure game and does not use guns or human opponents, its hand-to-hand sword combat may be too graphic for some players.

Not as flashy as a new game trailer, but moves like this shape what ends up on the shelf later.
