In contrast to the previous three games, which were all classified M for Mature, the ESRB has awarded this game a T rating. Due to the violence, blood, and gore, as well as the foul language and provocative ideas that were presented, the Bayonetta series got these ratings previously. The ESRB recognises the fact that Bayonetta Origins is a lot more intimate story with a milder rating that includes Animated Blood and Fantasy Violence.
