What is Stellar Blade

 

Stellar Blade is a PlayStation 5 exclusive title and the very first console title by Shift Up, a South Korean development studio that seems rather unknown at first. However, it is indeed the same team behind Goddess of Victory: Nikke, a gacha game that grossed over $70 million in its debut month in November 2022.

Stellar Blade offers a futuristic gaming world where Earth is subjugated by the alien forces of Naytiba. Playing as Eve, we become part of the convoy sent to liberate the planet. With action-packed third-person gameplay and fast movements that reward blocks, dodges, and counters.

 

Eve’s Character Design: The Protagonist of Stellar Blade

 

What seems to have attracted attention in recent days is the appearance of the protagonist, Eve. Many find her too attractive and unrealistic compared to real women. This combined with the fact that the more recent PlayStation-exclusive title has been going against the trends of recent years by focusing on the plot and proposing more down-to-earth female characters, theoretically allowing players to empathize with them.

The Game Director Responds to Criticisms of Eve

 

The Shift Up team is no stranger to criticisms regarding the character design of female characters, which is decidedly more provocative compared to the competition, which combined with a rather fun gameplay with Destiny Child and Goddess of Victory: Nikke has given the team a certain notoriety. Furthermore, the Game Director, Hyung-Tae Kim, seems almost impassive at these kinds of critics. Indeed, he defends the choice of character design, mentioning that the studio primarily based Eve’s features on the South Korean model Shin Jae-eun and created Eve’s face from scratch.

The Game Director goes on to mention that throughout the game, we will see the protagonist from behind, and that particular attention was given to modeling the back. Furthermore, he continues to defend that criticisms of video games are way too severe, considering that it is still entertainment, intended for a mature audience.

 

Stellar Blade: Confirmation of Costumes and Accessories in the Game

 

While the issue of the protagonist’s appearance continues to be discussed, Hyung-Tae Kim also confirms the presence of numerous costumes and accessories for Eve to wear throughout the game. Furthermore, against all expectations considering the team’s gacha background, these will be unlockable in-game without further purchases. Costumes that will give Eve different looks with approximately 30 in-game costumes, and an unconfirmed number of accessories and hairstyles.
