At E3, SoulCalibur’s Objectified Women Felt Like A Relic Of The Past

Cecilia D'Anastasio writes: Over-the-top appearances may have fit in quite well with the boys’ club mentality of the late 1990s when characters like Ivy were introduced in the first SoulCalibur.

20 years later, at an E3 with down-to-earth playable female protagonists in Assassin’s Creed, Tomb Raider, The Division 2, The Last of Us Part 2, Battlefield 5, and other headlining games, Ivy in SoulCalibur 6 seemed a little out of place.
