The practice of putting sexy women on the box art and in advertisements for video games without her actually appearing in the game, or only appearing in a very minor, forgettable role that doesn't warrant such front-and-center visibility. Sex Sells, logic be damned. It can be seen as especially odd if the game features several significant female characters who could have been used instead, but it doesn't really matter who the girl is. She is there only to attract the Male Gaze, due to the assumption that most gamers are (heterosexual) men. Once he sees what the game is about and decides whether or not to buy it, her job is done. A rather blatant subtrope of Sexy Packaging and Covers Always Lie. The name is a reference to "Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This trope is a recurring feature of Clickbait Gags, specifically when mocking the trend to put attractive women in YouTube thumbnails. Contrast Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer, as movies tend to have the exact opposite problem. See also Wolverine Publicity. For ladies who do appear in the game, go to Third-Person Seductress. Has nothing to do with characters who were Dummied Out. |

All the issues of Marville, except for the first, has an almost nude woman on the cover, who is never seen in the actual story. (though an alternate for the first cover◊, which was reused in the paperback, at least could be one of the main characters, Mickey, given she starts the series as a taxi driver.) | |

Star Trek Online: Some of the promo art features a young female Vulcan◊ wearing a Starfleet-styled Custom Uniform of Sexy with plentiful cleavage. On the other hand, when the Expansion Pack Legacy of Romulus was dropped, another Romulan showed up in the promo wallpapers, dubbed "So'Hott" by the players. According to Word of God this is meant to be Commander Tiaru Jarok, the captain of the Romulan Republic flagship RRW Lleiset (the Romulan counterpart to the Enterprise). She becomes a Recurrer starting with the mission "Sphere of Influence" but wasn't in the game originally. Promo art for the second expansion Delta Rising played this straight again. This wallpaper features a hot female Romulan in a Spy Catsuit, a hot blonde Liberated Borg Starfleet officer in tactical greys, and a big, burly Klingon with a bat'leth. Though the Romulan at least bears some resemblance to Commander Mena, the Romulan mission giver for much of DR's storyline. |

The poster for Camp Nowhere (as seen on that page) advertises a bunch of buxom, scantily clad supermodels as a part of the cast, but they're nowhere to be found in the movie itself. Kind of an odd case since it's ostensibly a junior high kids' movie. | |

Bleach has its fair share of sexy women, though the manga compilations that have the most provocative covers usually contain the least amount of fanservice. Volume 17◊ is the biggest offender, featuring Yoruichi Shihoin wearing spray-on pants, even though she's nowhere to be found in this volume. | |

The second trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron featured a mysterious dark-skinned woman disrobing in a cave. Fan theories abounded as to who she might be (with popular theories being Princess Shuri, Hela and Death), but the character ended up getting cut from the actual movie. | |

The "recruitment posters" for Final Fantasy XIV's Grand Companies caused a small bit of confusion on some forums because that one poster◊ (presumably a parody of Liberty Leading the People) kept being mistaken for a depiction of the Company's commander, Kan-E-Senna, and people were upset that "wasn't showing up in the game." Kan-E-Senna actually resembles a young teenager, and is a different person from the woman in the poster. Fun fact: the woman on the poster is actually one of the twelve gods of Eorzea, Nophica. | |

The cover girls for the Grand Theft Auto games. There are some who do appear in their respective games (Misty in Grand Theft Auto III, Joni in The Ballad of Gay Tony and Ling Shan in Chinatown Wars), but their roles are so small that they effectively still count. They're always odd choices, since every GTA includes one or two significant female characters who could have been used instead. In Grand Theft Auto V people are divided on whether the blonde bikini girl featured in much of the advertising is supposed to be the minor character of Tracey De Santa or whether she is this trope. |

Forsaken isa Descent clone featuring little except spaceships flying around and shooting each other. Neither the box cover nor the ads, however, have spaceships of any sort. Instead, it's a shot of a gray desert with an expressionless redhead with a heart-shaped tattoo on her cheek. If she's the pilot of any of these spaceships, she certainly doesn't look it. | |

Game Recordings, who released music by artists featured on the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto III, were notorious for the "Game Girls" on the covers of their singles — porn stars, because the label CFO also had a business making softcore pornography under the imprint "Hip Hop Honeys". A famous example of one of these is "Nuttin' To Do/Scary Movies" by Bad Meets Evil (a duo consisting of Eminem and Royce da 5'9"), which features two porn stars on the cover despite the nasal, incredibly unsexy Horrorcore within. | |

Rise of Mythos, a game advertised on this very Wiki, combines this trope with unintentional comedy by using images lifted from another game — namely, KanColle. Even if you don't know that the young woman in the ad is the Moe Personification of a Japanese WWII battleship, you might find yourself asking why a teen girl in a Sailor Fuku is being used to advertise a medieval fantasy-based gamenote Making it even funnier, they used Ensemble Dark Horse Shimakaze, making it more likely that someone will notice the plagiarism. | |

Seitokai Yakuindomo has a non-video game example: There's a pink-haired girl the entirety of end credits of the show's first season is devoted to, even though she plays no part in the series proper at all. She finally gets a cameo in the first OVA, getting a seconds-long, one-line appearance that title drops the ED song. | |

The cover art for Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat depicts two blushing, bikini-clad catgirls snuggling suggestively. Though the two girls in question do appear in the anime, the scene depicted never happens, neither of them is a Cat Girl outside of fantasy sequences (and never both at once), and they are not in a sexual relationship (though one of them might like to be). Also, the younger of the two girls is incapable of expressing her emotions due to her wish, and as such shouldn't be able to blush. | |

Zig-zagged in the case of RuneScape. NPC heroine Linza the Blacksmith was intended to appear in-game as a fellow adventurer like the player, complete with her own quest series, but all of her quests ended up in Development Hell, so for years the she only ever appeared in advertisements and the odd cameo, flaunting her cleavage and bare arms. In May 2016 the quest "Kindred Spirits" was finally green-lit to star Linza... and was advertised as a quest about the Barrows Brothers instead. | |

In The Noob when the expansion set for Clichequest was coming out, the first version of the box art featured the squid-lobster creatures prominently present in the actual game. The CEO of the game company thought the box art was the reason for the expansion's poor sales, so had it replaced with a closeup of a curvy lady. When the expansion still sold poorly the lady's bust was exaggerated further until eventually the final iteration of the box's front was nothing but a 3D pair of breasts protruding from it. | |

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura: The cover is dominated by the tattooed head of a female elf. None of the player portraits for elves or half-elves look like that, nor does any prominent elven npcs. There are also a spellslinging mage and dwarf with a flamethrower included, neither notable characters but far more awesome. The game has an alternate brighter cover with Raven, whom you do meet, prominently displayed. The unidentified female elf in the commercial cover is by that logic most likely Min'Gorad, the leader of the Dark Elves, who does not have a character portrait in-game. |

In both EverQuest and EverQuest II with Firiona Vie and Antonia Bayle respectively. Firiona Vie was featured on the front of the boxart for most of EQ's expansions until they switched over to download only expansions. Many players questioned who she and the other characters who always appeared on the boxes. Eventually they brought these characters in as part of a storyline in the game. They were almost always played by a Game Master, so you had to be at the event to see them, but they were eventually fleshed out as background characters who were important to the overall storylines that the game developed. Antonia Bayle is the reigning queen of Qeynos, whose backstory and involvement in the game was pretty prominent at the start of the game. Players who betrayed Qeynos in order to defect to Freeport were confronted by Antonia herself before they got kicked out of the city. Changes to the game would eventually remove this special one-time encounter. She would eventually return as part of various storylines and quests, giving orders for the player to investigate directly before sending them off on their mission. Firiona and this trope in general were parodied in The Noob. Link. |

The teaser for Bored of the Rings talks of Frito's seduction by a "voluptuous elf maiden" who does not appear in the book at all. This is really a legitimate parody of the trope, or at least of the sex-sells mindset in general, though -— after all, the whole book is a parody. | |

Dead End Drive-In has a downplayed example. Publicity for the film, and articles or book entries about it, will often have a picture of a woman who is topless other than a metal bra with huge cow horns over her breasts. Although she occasionally appears in the film, she's a background extra who is never even the main focus of a shot. | |

Blake Stone: Planet Strike was Apogee's first retail title, and their publisher, Formgen, wanted a girl on the cover to attract eyes. The actual game has no ladies to save. Read about it here. | |

The VeggieTales Bible Storybook features Khalil from Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie on its' cover. However, in the actual Jonah story in the book, he is nowhere to be found in the illustrations and is not even mentioned in the story. | |

Blade of Queen by Carolgames features ads with both official art and fan art of Kasumi from Dead or Alive, and a selection of random anime characters, none of which appear in the game. | |

The original US poster for Ikiru focuses on a stripper who is only briefly seen in the film itself. | |

In Drakensang there are four characters pictured on the cover (not counting the dragon): three of them (the knight Traldar, Forgrimm the dwarf and Gwendala the Elf) are met in-game as party members, but the scantly dressed buxom wizard on the right isn't. She may be the player character, though there aren't female mages with such a design. | |

Parodied in an ad for AdventureQuest Worlds. The ad starts off showing the silhouette of a brave knight striking a heroic pose. The slogan "Slay free" then pops up. The knight is then shown in full, revealing that he is only wearing underwear. He drops to cover himself, and the words "Quest indiscreetly" appear, parodying Evony's tag. To drive the point home, a certainly-far-more-armored-than-normal-for-this-trope-but-still-rather-Chainmail Bikini'd woman pops out from the surrounding trees with the speech bubble, "Pants, my lord?" | |

Forge of Empires is another one using explicit but untrue claims of pornographic content. One ad on a torrent website touts the "World's First Online Sex Game" and shows blatantly pornographic images that aren't in the game at all. A few Forge of Empires ads show and promise gay porn instead, making them a rare male example. | |

The online ads for Evony featured women ranging from innocent-looking girls to porn stars, beckoning "my Lord" to play the game. It's worth noting that Evony is not an RPG but a strategy game, meaning you don't see anyone up close, let alone some bimbo in anachronistic lingerie. They even started the trend of stealing licensed characters from other games — such as Queen Antonia, featured mascot of EverQuest II — which soon spread. Evony's ad campaign's slow degeneration from actual relevant ads to "Boobies! (oh, and play our game)" has become a running joke on game-related sites. | |

The chapter title pages for Gantz very often feature a hot girl in various states of undress. It's pretty common for her to be absent from the actual chapter, though. In one chapter, the title page turned out to be the image on a poster that's barely seen in the actual chapter. This tendency stopped in later chapters though. | |

Dragonfable has, or at least had, Fae, a cat girl who would appear in their ads. She had only appeared in the beta test of the game, and vanished until she finally showed up in one quest chain, years later. | |

The cover of Rifts World Book 12: Psyscape focuses on a woman decapitating a robot; the closest match in the book is a description Erin Tarn has of a dream. Most of the book is Nxla, Psi-Cola, powers, monsters and gear. The cover girl isn't even statted. Not a single NPC is. | |

An ad for a trading card game called Ancient Summoner shows a scantily-clad anime girl with the slogan "Wanna get tough? Then let's play rough with her to fight against the evils!" Oddly reminiscent of Wartune's "Love can dispel darkness! Make love against the darkness with her now!" slogan... | |

The Conan Hyborian Age mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim adds new Conan the Barbarian (1982)-themed loading screens to the game, among other thingsnote a quest, a large dungeon, new items, and new crafting recipes, one of them being a picture of a scantily-clad Valeria; said loading screen is also one of the official illustrations showed in the Skyrim Nexus mod's page. It's Valeria only appearance in the game (her outfit is an actual armor form the mod, though). | |
