NO CENSORSHIP: Stellar Blade Boss Reveals True Reason for Outfit Changes

May 14, 2024 10:24 AM

The latest developments in the gaming industry bring thrilling news for action-adventure fans as Stellar Blade, a game by developer SHIFT UP and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, is reviewed favorably for its exceptional combat system and post-apocalyptic setting. Despite minor gameplay flaws and underdeveloped characters, the adrenaline-fueled action makes it stand out. Anticipation continues to build for Stellar Blade's release date on April 26, 2024.

In other news, controversy has sparked over the game's protagonist, Eve, and her outfits, which have prompted debates on social media over their perceived sexualization. Developer SHIFT UP's CEO, Hyung-tae Kim, addressed these concerns, clarifying that recent outfit adjustments were not due to censorship but were purely aesthetic choices to refine the final product quality.

What were the specific changes made to the outfits in Stellar Blade?

Adjustments to Eve's outfits in Stellar Blade included modifications to a bathing suit design to show less hip exposure and the addition of leggings to a 'Peony' outfit that was shown with bare legs in a tutorial. These alterations were included in the Day One patch and were meant to balance the erotic elements to align with the creators' vision for the final product.

Stellar Blade, set to release in 2024, is already creating a buzz for its dynamic combat and intriguing game world. This title promises to be a captivating addition to the action-adventure genre, joining a long history of games that Sony Interactive Entertainment has brought to players. The narrative set within a post-apocalyptic world, combined with rich visuals and a potentially robust combat system, suggests that Stellar Blade might be yet another hit under Sony's belt and a potential successor to earlier successes like the God of War series and Horizon Forbidden West.
