The only surprise here would be if the studio developed equally sensual skins for its male characters.
Stellar Blade Has Some Major Competition
Stellar Bladebuilt a reputation around its openly adult and sensual characterskins. Consequently, the game has been the subject of substantial controversy, particularly around the portrayal of Eve and the alleged censorship of her clothes.

While the PlayStation exclusive has made its mark by embracing this overtly sensual aesthetic, Nexon seems to be taking a more subtle and gradual approach.
The Ultimate Valby skin seems like the start of something more, and people are not turned off by it.

Although people outside the fandom of both games seem to already throw the two player bases into the same lot, at the end of the day, companies will go where the money is, and skins like these are easy money printers.
What is your general opinion about sensual skins like these? Would you be opposed to seeing racy skins for males or other body types? We’d love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments below!
