It was inevitable that this would happen, given how much the Stellar Blade social interns repost cosplays, fan art, and screenshots from the 2024 post-apocalyptic action epic. On X (formerly Twitter), SHIFT UP’s social media team has publicly reposted an NSFW shot of Eve from Stellar Blade – most likely by accident.
The image that the team reposted is fan art from a user named ‘NaughtyCafe’, whose bio marks them as an NSFW artist. The image in question is a custom-drawn image of Eve, the game’s protagonist, in her ‘skin suit’ outfit, but it’s a little more revealing than SHIFT UP likely ever intended it to be.
Red-Handed
Depending on your safety settings on X, you’ll be met with a blocker that prevents you from seeing the Stellar Blade NSFW image shared by SHIFT UP at face value, and you’ll need to click a prompt to remove the cover over the picture. If you don’t have the necessary settings in place, you’ll be greeted by Eve baring all in NaughtyCafe’s image.
I’ll link you to the Stellar Blade X profile, but in the interest of not directing you straight to an NSFW post, I’ll let you find the image yourself.
How exactly did this happen?
Well, the social team that drives the X channel with 147,000 followers reposts dozens of shots of Eve every day. The best Stellar Blade cosplays, artistic representations, and photomode shots lifted from the game are all shared by whoever runs the page.
Maybe someone didn’t realise they were on their main account, or perhaps they neglected to ‘full screen’ the image. The preview window tactfully shields the most graphic portion of the picture, and only opening the image up reveals all.
Perhaps someone at SHIFT UP just said F it and decided to go rogue – who knows?
As you can imagine, the reactions were fantastic. One user wrote, ‘I’m crying, the official account retweeted this without opening the full image.’ Another said, ‘Official account reposting this is badass ngl.’
Stellar Blade is coming to PC next week, and it’s almost guaranteed to be set upon by the modding community, so you can expect much more of this soon.
