Naughty Dog's concept artist sparked a heated online debate after sharing artwork of Stellar Blade's protagonist, Eva, on X. The design, deemed unattractive by many fans, depicted Eva with a masculine appearance, prompting a flood of negative comments labeling the portrayal as "ugly" and "terrible." Many critics described the art as "repulsive" and accused the artist of presenting an "awakened" version of Eve.
This incident follows recent criticism of Naughty Dog's inclusion of explicit DEI content in their upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The game's trailer garnered a record number of dislikes, surpassing even Concord's earlier record. This controversy further highlights a growing trend of backlash against perceived deviations from traditional character designs.
The original design of Stellar Blade's protagonist, Eva, created by Shift Up, was a significant factor in the game's success, with her beauty widely praised by the gaming community. The stark contrast between the original, well-received design and the newly released concept art underscores the sensitivity surrounding character aesthetics and the potential impact on fan reception.
