## Key points

- Overwatch’s next collaboration appears to feature Stellar Blade.
- Players are divided over AI, character designs and sexualisation.
- It is unclear whether the collaboration will launch outside Korea.

## Summary

Overwatch’s next collaboration appears to be with Stellar Blade, under the name “Eve Protocol”, prompting mixed reactions from players. The debate matters because it touches on criticism of artificial intelligence, the sexualised reputation of Stellar Blade, and recurring disagreements over how guest characters are represented in Overwatch.

The collaboration was announced through Stellar Blade’s official channels and the Korean Overwatch account, with no confirmation that it will be released beyond Korea. Some players objected to Shift Up’s AI-generated music video, while others questioned how Stellar Blade characters might be matched to Overwatch heroes. The article notes that these collaborations use inspired costumes rather than direct, one-to-one character recreations.
