The first trailer for Stellar Blade: Blood Rain set a few alarm bells ringing when it was revealed during Summer Game Fest on June 5, and I’m not just talking about all of the suspicions surrounding its alleged use of GenAI. In fact, all anyone can seemingly talk about is the child-like appearance of Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’s new protagonist, Evie. The CEO of its developer, Shift Up, has recently brushed off these complaints in an interview, in which he states that the “physical looks” of Evie are secondary to how much of a “lovable character” she is.
