This follows an earlier version of the game [URL=http://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/04/20/starcraft-ii-earns-adult-rating-korea]being branded with an adults only[/URL], or over 18, rating last month.

Blizzard may also consider releasing a separate version of StarCraft II that is aimed for adults only.

The game earned a “T” (Teen) rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).
