A concept artist from Naughty Dog recently shared artwork of Stellar Blade's protagonist, Eva, on the game's official X account, sparking a significant negative reaction from fans. Many criticized the design, describing Eva's appearance as masculine, unattractive, ugly, and even repulsive. A common thread in the comments accused the artist of portraying Eva in an "awakened" state.
This incident follows a similar pattern for Naughty Dog. The studio faced recent backlash for the inclusion of explicit DEI content in their upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The trailer for this sci-fi adventure garnered a record number of dislikes, surpassing even Concord's earlier record.
The original design of Eva, created by Shift Up, was a major factor in Stellar Blade's success earlier this year. Her widely-praised beauty made her a beloved character among players. The stark contrast between the original and the newly shared artwork highlights the significant difference in reception.
