The highly awaited PS5 exclusive game, Stellar Blade, will be launching in its complete unaltered state worldwide. Previous rumors suggesting alterations to Stellar Blade content have been officially refuted.

Stellar Blade has captured significant attention as a PlayStation exclusive in recent months. Surpassing the engagement of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, a renowned franchise, the game's popularity has soared. As the April 26 release date approaches, anticipation and speculation around Stellar Blade have peaked. However, a recent announcement has addressed one of the major concerns surrounding the game.

Developer Shift Up took to Twitter to confirm the release of an uncensored version of Stellar Blade globally. The statement also assured that the Japanese edition would remain unaltered, dispelling any fears of unexpected modifications. This declaration has reassured fans regarding potential censorship issues, especially relating to the protagonist Eve. The community responded positively, commending the developer's decision to maintain the integrity of the post-apocalyptic game. Fans expressed excitement, with one declaring, "Then GOTY has been decided," and another praising the preservation of the artistic vision.

Clarification on Censorship Concerns

Since the initial reveal of Stellar Blade, discussions have revolved around Eve's character design, particularly her physique which garnered special attention during development. Criticisms of Eve's appearance led to speculations of potential alterations to her in-game representation. Social media buzzed with comparisons between recent footage and the earlier teaser, fueling concerns of censorship.

The latest update from the developer, however, has put these rumors to rest. By affirming consistency in content worldwide, it implies minimal changes to all aspects, including Eve's portrayal. Given the game's adult rating in Korea, this decision appears bold. While not every fan may be satisfied, it showcases Shift Up and Sony's confidence in the game's original concept despite initial critiques.
