The sexualization of the protagonist caused outrage among one of the writers of the gaming portal IGN France. He noted that ShiftUp’s CEO “has never seen a woman.” Users of the social network X (formerly Twitter) drew attention to this statement and I learnedIt was stated that the head of Stellar Blade’s development department has actually been married for more than 10 years and his wife is an artist.
As iXBT.Games wrote, players were unhappy with “such trash talk” from gaming journalists in an effort to “cancel” Stellar Blade.
In addition, the developers had previously presented a real model that served as a prototype for the hero of Stellar Blade.
