As soon as it was shown last night during the Summer Games Fest, Stellar Blade Blood Rain‘s protagonist came under the shadow of (over)sexualization in video games, especially in certain cultures that extend these adult ideals to literal children.
Evie, the protagonist of Stellar Blade Blood Rain, which was apparently heavily inspired by Battle Angel Alita, appears front and center in the game’s new trailer, which was revealed during SGF last night. At best, the character appears around 15 years of age, judging by her facial features, with a body not too far removed from Eve of the original Stellar Blade title—shapely and sexualized.
And while Eve’s physique was genuinely a nothingburger that people threw a fit over when the first game came out, this time around, it’s a whole different story. Evie, in some scenes and from certain angles, looks even younger than 15, pushing 10, which rightfully saw many people enraged and calling out the developers for her physical design.
