Upon further research, looks like Stellar Blade (the game said footage is from) is the latest game chuds have decided is "theirs", ala Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Hatred, etc.
Though this time it's even dumber, since they're doing the game version of the forced Sydney Sweeney discourse, where they act like conventionally attractive women are extinct/it's illegal to be attracted to them.
As these things always go: If the game does well, they'll take credit and proclaim it a victory over the "wokes". And if it does poorly: They'll either say that the sjws rigged the system against it or it just wont be acknowledged.

I think the Gamers are sort of half-right in that blatant objectification is much less common now than it used to be two console generations ago and that there is an active attempt to make games that are more diverse and representative as opposed to games that give boners to a certain type of dude.
I also believe that game companies know that if they put out a major AAA game where every female character looked and jiggled like Mai Shiranui they would probably get made fun of on Twitter and an editorial on Polygon calling them out on sexual objectification and they just want to avoid the bad publicity.
Of course, you'd also equally get blue checkmark s calling them epic and based on Twitter and articles on Gamer outlets praising them for standing up to the woke agenda, not to say anything of the hundreds of Youtube videos doing the same.
I think it just really eats at them that despite how loud and annoying they get, large video game companies still know that exclusively pandering to a niche audience of horny nerds just doesn't make financial sense

They claimed Hatred? I thought that game has you mowing down American suburbanites and police
