This is despite promotional material for the game featuring an 18 certificate.

The lower rating makes Ghosts the first 16-rated home console Call of Duty in the last five years.

Since PEGI took over age ratings for video games, 2011's Modern Warfare 3 and 2012's Black Ops 2 were awarded 18 ratings. The BBFC previously gave 2009's Modern Warfare 2 an 18 and 2010's Black Ops an 18 certificate.

However, PEGI did rate last year's PlayStation Vita title Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified a 16.

Call of Duty: Ghosts will be released November 5.
