Stellar Blade Director Sparks Designer Backlash

Stellar Blade director Hyung-Tae Kim recently drew criticism from Nier: Automata character designer Yoshikaze Matsushita after posting an image celebrating Yoko Taro's new Evangelion project. Matsushita accused the image—showing Asuka atop smiling Emil heads—of incorporating his work and noted he had been blocked by Kim's account. Kim later apologized citing a third-party extension error, and Matsushita said he may avoid Shift Up games.
