Naughty Dog's concept artist sparked controversy 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 widespread criticism. Comments flooded the post, labeling the artwork as "ugly," "terrible," and even "repulsive," with accusations that the designer intentionally created a less appealing, "awakened" version of the character.
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 holds the record for most dislikes, surpassing even Concord's earlier record. This negative reception contrasts sharply with the success of Stellar Blade, a game whose popularity largely stemmed from Eva's universally praised beauty. Shift Up's original design of Eva was a significant factor in the game's success, making the new, drastically different design particularly jarring to fans.
