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

Naughty Dog's concept artist sparked controversy after posting artwork of Stellar Blade's protagonist, Eva, on X. The design, deemed unattractive by many fans, depicted Eva with a masculine appearance, prompting widespread criticism. Comments overwhelmingly described the artwork as ugly and repulsive, with some suggesting the designer intentionally created a less appealing version of the character.

This incident follows recent criticism of Naughty Dog for incorporating explicit DEI elements into their upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The game's trailer garnered a record number of dislikes, surpassing even Concord's earlier record.

The negative reception to the new Eva design stands in stark contrast to the original, created by Shift Up. The original Eva's beauty was a significant factor in Stellar Blade's success, making her a beloved character among players. The shift in design has clearly disappointed a large segment of the fanbase.
