The joy of discovering unannounced downloadable game titles on the ESRB’s ever-reliable website will soon be a thing of the past, as a new policy aimed at halting premature leaks on the site has been put forward, according to an internal memo passed to website Next-Gen.

When submitting a new game title to the ESRB’s ratings database, publishers will now have the option of entering in specific reveal date, letting the ESRB know exactly when to release information regarding the title to the public. If no date is specified, the title will automatically appear in the ESRB’s public search database 30 days after it has been rated.

Well now, that’s certainly exciting news for publishers. As for us… not so much. Not at all, actually. Guess we’ll have to rely on the European rating bodies from this point forward.
