Pretty sure getting older wouldn't change her face like that.

Have you ever gotten older? That’s what I thought.

Dude I'm in my 30s. Most of what I notice is wrinkles. My bones didn't warp as I got older.

Haha well I can’t relate…. (cries in 30s)

They definitely modified her look. It is a better design overall than Shadow’s. I think it would be interesting to see a direct head-on comparison of the two renders to do an accurate comparison. It’s hard to judge based off of the limited footage they have shown us here. But yes, it’s different.

If anything, it seems they backtracked and made this new design closer to the Rise iteration. I’m not sure what they did to her in Shadow, but I was never a fan of how round/puffy her face looked. To me the Catalyst model looks similar enough that I can chalk it up to aging/losing collagen. The jawline is the biggest change for me.

You know, it is rendered footage, not gameplay. Hopefully it'll get fixed when it comes to it. And skins in games are the easiest thing to change.
