Stellar Blade fans have accused Naughty Dog's character designer of intentionally uglifying Eve

Jan 03,25

Naughty Dog's concept artist sparked controversy after sharing artwork of Stellar Blade's protagonist, Eva, on X. The depiction, featuring a more masculine appearance, drew overwhelmingly negative feedback. Fans flooded the comments section with criticism, describing the design as unattractive, ugly, and even repulsive. Many accused the artist of deliberately making Eva appear "awakened," a term suggesting a deliberate shift away from conventionally attractive features.

This incident follows recent criticism of Naughty Dog for incorporating explicit DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) content in their upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The game's trailer already holds the record for most dislikes of a video game trailer this year, surpassing even Concord's previous record.

This contrast sharply with the original, highly successful design of Eva in Stellar Blade. Her conventionally attractive appearance was a significant factor in the game's popularity, making her a fan favorite. The new, drastically different design, a departure from Shift Up's original vision, has clearly failed to resonate with the gaming community.
