An official rating forTriangle Strategyhas just been published by the ESRB, the United States' independent rating board for video games.

The ESRB rating also gets into some depth regarding what kind of mature contentTriangle Strategywill feature. Without touching on any spoilers,Triangle Strategywill feature some sexually suggestive language, as well as several on-screen deaths. Don’t expect these deaths to be particularly gruesome, however.Triangle Strategykept content tepid enough to manage a “T for Teen” rating from the ESRB, similar toFire Emblem: Three Housesfor the Switch.
What the ESRB proves, contextually, is thatTriangle Strategyis moving closer to its previously announced release date of March 4. There had been some worry that Square Enix’s lack of new information about the game could imply a delay was forthcoming. This ESRB rating should calm down that speculation, however. Square Enix may simply be waiting until closer to launch to really start advertising its upcoming tactical RPG.
Square Enix may not be sharing a lot of information aboutTriangle Strategy, but it has released some details. For example, three weeks ago a trailer focusing onTriangle Strategyprotagonist Roland Glenbrookwas shared online. Roland is one of three main characters in the game, with all three being a focus in the RPG’s epic story.
Don’t be surprised if Square Enix drops additional trailers over the next two months, with focuses on the other twoTriangle Strategyprotagonists, story, combat, and more. Nintendo and Square Enix fans alike have high hopes thatTriangle Strategylives up to the legacy of classicSquare Enix tactics games.
