Lords of the Fallen 2 Studio Paid A Gaming YouTuber To Promote Its Boring Bikini Armor

CI Games paid YouTuber TheBackgroundNPC to unveil a new armor collection for Lords of the Fallen 2 in a sponsored video.

The reveal focused on female-only armor and was framed as fan-requested, but many viewers criticized it as generic and sexualized.

The backlash echoed broader gaming debates over fan-service, character design, and “bikini armor” marketing.

CI Games later tried to calm criticism by noting the game also includes more modest outfit options.
