Sony says it will remove Stellar Blade artwork that appears to reference racist slurs, claiming that the phrase’s inclusion was “unintentional.”

The art, which appears to combine two visual elements into a single phrase, was discovered during the review process. It can be seen in the screenshot below.

    looks at artwork, the joke is HARD R Oh come on, that’s hilarious, but we’re in an era of gaming where video games can’t have risque humor or jokes in them anymore.

      It’s not “risqué humor” or a “joke,” it was a Korean company not knowing the nuance of a phrase in English. That’s why it was likely changed so quickly, because it wasn’t intended.
