Kate Upton Not Backing Out On Sexy Pictorials Despite Nude Photo Leak; Model Shows What She Got In 'Game Of War: Fire Age' As Sports Illustrated Posts Throwback Video

Kate Upton is not backing out of her sexy image despite the nude photo leak. The model showed in "Game of War: Fire Age" why she remains one of Sports Illustrated, which recently posted a throwback video of her, favorites.

The TMZ pointed out to the stunt pulled out by Sports Illustrated just when Kate Upton has been getting a lot of buzz due to the "Game of War: Fire Age." 

"If there's one thing the Internet knows ... it's that Kate Upton in a bikini (and sometimes out of it) is an easy win -- and the folks at Sports Illustrated just rung up another W," it said.

Since Kate Upton's been getting a ton of attention for the adverts for the game, "S.I. just wanted to remind everyone they have the hottest Upton footage on the planet ... by posting a throwback video to a 2012 photoshoot," TMZ added.

Meanwhile, Machine Zone has already released the adverts to promote the "Game of War: Fire Age."

"She plays Greek goddess Athena in brand new game franchise, Game Of War: Fire Age and Hollywood actress Kate Upton looks sexy in a new trailer," MailOnline noted. "The 22-year-old can be seen charging forward on a horse during a battle scene, in which she showcases her ample assets in a eye-catching ensemble."

In a piece from Ad Week magazine, Kate Upton said of her participation in the game: "It is fantastic to be instrumental in the start of a new era in gaming and communications. I love playing the part of Athena-she's such a bad-ass character, commanding armies, slaying hydra, charging into battle-the work shows how much fun it is, and I am proud to be part of it."

Ever the professional, Kate Upton has not backed down from playing sexy characters, just like Athena in "Game of War: Fire Age," or participating in sexy photoshoots despite the nude photo leak months ago.
