Stellar Blade on Switch 2 got an overly realistic ad that's sparking reactions

Before we get to the heart of the matter, we need to set the stage a little. Earlier this year, Shift Up released a music video titled "Wanna be in LOVE Feat. Evie". This is the studio behind the excellent Stellar Blade. The video was poorly received by some members of the community because it was essentially generated by AI.

But that’s not the case. The character was simply beautifully recreated and portrayed by Jade, a model at a London agency. Photos from the clip’s production have been making the rounds online.

Here’s the launch trailer:
