You may already know this, but Stellar Blade won’t be for everyone, and we just got the proof. However, we’re not really surprised.
Stellar Blade is one of the most anticipated PS5 exclusive games of 2024. The Shift Up studio promises us an adventure full of nervous combat in a universe that promises to be fascinating. His arrival is getting closer and closer, so communication around the game is obviously accelerating. On this topic, we learned that the title will not be aimed at everyone for a very simple reason. You’ll soon understand why.
Stellar Blade, banned for under 18s?
In fact, the exclusivity in South Korea was assessed based on its content. The result ? Stellar Blade is prohibited for under 18s. So are we really surprised? Not really. Given the trailers released so far, it was almost certain that the game would be stamped “-18 years old.” Please note that this does not mean it will be everywhere. It itself has not yet been investigated by other bodies. However, this leaves little room for doubt, but just in case we will avoid jumping too far.
So it won’t be for everyone if we respect the age limit. Nobody is an exception to the rule, right? But then why did he receive this rating? What made the difference? User Striking-Bison-8933 managed to get information about it before sharing it with Reddit. Apparently this is due to the presence of violence that is classified as “excessive”. There is also “sexually explicit content”. Again, we’re not particularly surprised, but it’s always interesting to know.
In addition, the CEO of Shift Up recently commented on this issue in response to criticism of the heroine’s body. For some people, the latter is so sensual that it is far from reality. Hyung-Tae Kim’s answer is clear: it is entertainment “aimed at adults” and therefore it is not unusual. Furthermore, the meticulous work on Eva’s figure when we see her from behind would be due to the fact that we almost never see her from the front. Not all players liked the coach’s comments, which reignited the controversy.
