Scope of this page

The PEGI 18 rating, the content descriptors and the store genres and features displayed for Beautiful Light on the Epic Games Store, with the limits of what a pre-release classification establishes.

An age rating carried by a storefront is a fact about the listing, and it is the earliest formal signal about content severity that exists for an unreleased title. PEGI 18 is the highest band in the European system, and the descriptors attached to it name what earned it.

The genre classification is worth recording because it is not merely descriptive. The listing places Beautiful Light under Horror alongside First Person and Shooter, and the storefront's own long description reinforces it, stating that the game « puts a strong emphasis on immersion, horror, and tactical gameplay ». Horror is therefore not a reading imposed by this site; it is the classification the game carries where it is sold.

The feature list is short and it is informative by its shortness. A single feature is declared, Online Multiplayer. Nothing on the listing declares single-player, offline play, controller support, cloud saves or achievements. This site records the absence as an absence, not as a denial: an unlisted feature has not been ruled out, it has simply not been declared.

The storefront copy also contains an inconsistency worth recording. The short summary describes a « PvPvPvE tactical first-person extraction shooter », while a later paragraph on the same page describes « an intense PvPvP extraction shooter ». The two acronyms differ by whether an environment faction is present. Both appear on the same page on the same date.

Classification

Genres and features, as the storefront assigns them

These are store taxonomy values, chosen from the storefront's own vocabulary. They are not a description written for this site.

  • Genres

    First Person, Horror, Shooter — three values, listed in that order.

  • Features

    Online Multiplayer — one value, and the only one declared.

  • Promotional content

    Yes.

  • Trademark notice

    The listing states that Beautiful Light and the VOA logo are registered trademarks of, or trademarks being registered by, Deep Worlds SA in Europe and other countries.

Limits

What this page does not establish

It does not establish the rating of the finished game. A pre-release classification can be revised before launch, and a rating displayed on one storefront does not bind another.

It does not establish a rating for regions outside the PEGI system. No ESRB, USK, CERO or ACB rating was found on the sources this site uses, and their absence is recorded rather than filled in.

It does not establish that undeclared features are absent. Only Online Multiplayer is declared; every other feature is simply not stated.

It does not resolve the PvPvPvE and PvPvP inconsistency. Both strings appear on the same page on the same date, and the disagreement is recorded as observed.

Boundary

Editorial boundary

Read on the Epic Games Store product page on 2026-09-04. A rating displayed by a storefront before release describes the classification attached to the listing on that date, not a verified assessment of a finished game.
