The creator of the original God of War, David Jaffe, has raised concerns about character design in Crimson Desert, suggesting that the depiction of goblins may carry antisemitic undertones.
In a post on Twitter, he shared a screenshot from a mission titled «Flames of Greed», featuring a goblin associated with a faction known as the Goldleaf guild.
Jaffe wrote:
«I like Crimson Desert. But… seriously, Crimson Desert… this is some antisemitic shit, or at least that’s how it comes across», «The nose, the job, the mission name, and Goldleaf might as well be Goldberg».
According to him, the emphasis on a hooked nose is a feature that was historically used in propaganda to dehumanize Jewish people, and combining it with a greed-themed mission only reinforces that impression.
As a Reminder, A new PvE mode, Xeno Point, will be added to PUBG.
