Stellar Blade’s very NSFW character skin makes the action-RPG much harder if you’re down bad enough to equip it.
Last week,Sony rapidly scrubbed a Stellar Blade demo from the PSN storefrontafter it went live a little ahead of schedule. Some people were still able to get in on the action, leading to the discovery of brand new in-game skins for protagonist Eve. One, called the ‘Skin Suit,’ has quickly amassed a dedicated following on Twitter, to put it mildly.
The lack of a shield for the Skin Suit makes perfect sense—if you ditch all your clothes, you’re going to be left more vulnerable. It’s slightly reminiscent of the self-destruct ability from Nier: Automata, where protagonist 2B could take off her skirt, but her health would drop to just one point.
Stellar Blade launches next month on April 26 as aPS5exclusive. Read our fullStellar Blade interviewwith the game’s director for more on how it’s secretly a fully-fledged RPG thanks to its customization options for Eve.
