You may already know this, but Stellar Blade will not be for everyone, and we have just had proof. However, we are not really surprised.
Stellar Blade is one of the most anticipated PS5 exclusives of 2024. The Shift Up studio promises us an adventure rich in nervous combat, in a universe that promises to be intriguing. Its arrival is fast approaching, so obviously, communication around the game is accelerating. On this subject, we learned that the title will not be aimed at everyone for a very simple reason. You will soon understand why.
Stellar Blade, prohibited for under 18s?
In fact, the exclusivity was rated in South Korea for its content. The result ? Stellar Blade is prohibited for under 18s. So, are we really surprised? Well, not really. Given the trailers published to date, it was almost certain that the game was going to be stamped “-18 years old”. Please note, this does not mean that it will be everywhere. It itself has not yet been studied by other committees. That said, that leaves little room for doubt, but just in case, we will avoid getting too far ahead of ourselves.
So, it won’t be for everyone if we respect the age limit. No one is an exception to the rule, right? But then why did he receive this evaluation? What tipped the scales this way? User Striking-Bison-8933 managed to obtain information about this, before passing it on to Reddit. Obviously, this is due to the presence of violence deemed to be “excessive”. There would also be “sexually explicit content”. Once again, we’re not particularly surprised, but it’s always interesting to know.
Moreover, on this subject, the CEO of Shift Up recently spoke out to respond to criticism of the heroine’s body. For some people, the latter is too sensual, so much so that it is far from reality. Hyung-Tae Kim’s response is clear, it’s entertainment “aimed at adults” and therefore it’s not abnormal. In addition, the meticulous work on Eve’s form when we see her from behind would be due to the fact that we almost never see her from the front. The boss’s comments were not to the taste of all the players, reigniting the controversy once again.
