Top 10 Sexiest New Male Video Game Characters

Opportunities to objectify male characters are rare, and I seize them every chance I get. Over the past 12 to 14 months, a steady stream of new male video game characters has appeared, prompting me to compile a tongue-in-cheek list of the ones I find sexy. For this list, “new characters” are defined as those released within the last 12 to 13 months. Of course that definition has some caveats and some loopholes. I aimed to include a wide range of character types. If your favorite sexy husband didn’t make the list, let us know in the comments below!

Honorable Mention – Id from Granblue Fantasy ReLink

There’s no way to create a list like this without at least one “edgelord.” Id from Granblue Fantasy ReLink fits the bill. He’s a gruff, loner, silent type who’s handsome but deeply troubled. I can fix him…

10. Macaron – Hi-Fi Rush

The lovable teddy bear tech geek. He is Barrett Wallace if he were a super nerd. We rarely see body diversity in video game characters, so it’s nice to get a chunky bear like Macaron.

9. Von Lycaon – Zenless Zone Zero

Zenless Zone Zero is the newest gacha game from Mihoyo, known for their waifu factory reputation. However, they’ve ventured into new territory: furries. If there’s one fandom more loyal to their digital significant others, it’s the furry fandom. Von Lycoon’s design is pretty incredible. Like Rouge the Bat fans before me, all it takes is one character to awaken something in people. Is Von Lycoon that character for me? Who knows…

8. Jamie Sui – Street Fighter 6

The sluttiest waist. Capcom knew what they were doing when they designed Jamie. His outfit is so damn cool, accentuating and bringing attention to his slutty waist. And he’s a breaking dancing drunken boxer.

7. Van Arkride – The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak

The Legend of Heroes series has a plethora of characters, many of them sexy women. Unfortunately, most of the male characters are either underage or just not attractive, at least to me. However, Van Arkride is the complete opposite. He’s dashingly handsome, charming, and just the right amount of badass. Not to mention, he’s an adult.

6. Victor Chevalier – Tekken 8

Handsome? Check. Dapper? Check. Speaks French? Check. Tall? Check. Uses a sword and gun? Check. Silver fox? Check. Victor is the epitome of the sexy DILF aesthetic. He has undeniable charisma and coolness. He exudes confidence and checks all the boxes for those working through their daddy issues.

5. Wyll – Baldur’s Gate 3

I feel like Wyll is deeply underrated and underappreciated. He doesn’t get the same fanfare as some of the other popular origin characters in Baldur’s Gate 3, which is a shame since he’s a cute goth guy. He may be a little rigid at times, but he’s a fierce warrior and companion. Plus, he looks great outside his armor.

4. Tomizawa – Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Okay, hear me out. I know this will be a very controversial pick. Tomozawa doesn’t fit the normal himbo aesthetic. He’s the biggest nerd, and not someone most people would instantly find attractive. However, he’s the nerdy guy-next-door type that is underappreciated. And he looks really good in that fundoshi.

3. Clive Rosfield – Final Fantasy XVI

Clive stands as an anomaly within the Final Fantasy series. Most of the protagonists are young twinks or very cool women. Clive is complex not only in his personality but also his design. From his scruffy five o’clock shadow, simple haircut, and rather modest armor, he doesn’t look like any former heroes in this franchise. That helps him stand out. Not to mention, his voice is so sexy. (Thanks Ben Starr!)

2. Syzoth – Mortal Kombat 1

When Reptile’s trailer was revealed, I was so surprised to see a human Reptile, and he was so handsome too. We never really got to see Reptile’s personality in previous games. This technically is a new Reptile from the previous versions. (We love a loophole.) This Reptile can shapeshift between his human form and lizard form. And if you’re into lizardmen, it’s a two-for-one special.

1. Sargon – Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Though the Killmonger haircut is overdone (though I am a fan), Sargon walking around wearing very little is a good design choice. He looks good doing it too. His stare is not only intimidating, it’s a turn-on for sure. He’s the total package of sex appeal, great design, handsome face and uses a sword.
