Stellar Blade is just a few hours away from reaching the hands of all players, but the title has already seen itself in a strong controversy, one that has nothing to do with Eve's design, but with a racial insult. While this offensive message was a mistake on the part of the developers, The South Korean team has confirmed that they are already working to remove this element.
In Xion, the main hub of Stellar Blade, it is possible to see graffiti that says “Hard”, which is next to the R of a store. Separated, these two elements are harmless. However, seeing them together forms the phrase “Hard-R”, which, for those who do not speak English, has no meaning, but everyone who knows this language, They know that this refers to an insult against the African-American community.
In this way, Shift Up, The developers have revealed that they are already working on a one-day patch for Stellar Blade, which will not only correct this error, eliminating the word “Hard”, but will also include a New Game+. All this, as well as a couple of improvements, will be available at the launch of this long-awaited title. This is what was said about it:
“Locating two graphic elements in Stellar Blade, one close to the other, resulted in the unintentional use of an unpleasant phrase. “Shift Up had no intention of creating this offensive art and it will be corrected with the introduction of the day one patch.”
For now, we remind you that Stellar Blade will arrive on PlayStation 5 on April 26. On related topics, you can now check out our review of this game here. Likewise, the title will not suffer from any type of censorship.
Author's Note:
After spending many hours on Xion, I didn't notice this message, but I don't doubt that some people find this bug offensive. This makes clear the importance of companies like Sweet Baby, which are dedicated to looking for these types of problems, and informing developers about their importance.
