Hellblade 2 was revealed at The Game Awards 2019, with a dark, hard-hitting reveal trailer that didn’t give much away in terms of story or gameplay, but did reveal the key detail that the game is coming to next-generation Xbox and PC – it’s the release date we’re now curious about. That means you can expect to see it on Xbox One, too. The game is coming to both Xbox Series X and PC, Microsoft has confirmed, and it’ll be among the first to support the Xbox’s Smart Delivery technology that gives you access to the best version of the game on whichever system you’re playing on. That game told the story of Senua, a Pict warrior who travels to the Norse plane of Helheim.Ninja Theory announced Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, the follow-up to 2017’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, back in late 2019.
The original Hellblade was released in 2017, and was praised for its narrative structure as well as the performance of Melina Juergens. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 was first announced in December 2019, at The Game Awards, as one of the first Xbox Series X games. “We’re collaborating with Epic Games to bring you next-generation digital characters, on the combat front, we want it to be extra real and brutal, so Melina, our main actress, has been training for two years, and all of our animators have undergone combat training.”Īntoniades’ update concluded with “not a trailer, not a gameplay reveal, but montage of the kind of work we’ve been up to.”
“On the character front, we’re building real costumes scanning them in,” Antoniades said. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be set in ninth-century Iceland, Antoniades said, and to properly capture that setting, Ninja Theory has sent its “art and audio teams out there doing photography, photogrammetry, and combining it with satellite data to recreate large swathes of the landscape.” Tameem Antoniades, “chief creative ninja” at Ninja Theory, said in a development update Thursday that the Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 team is currently “building a good chunky slice of the game before we then move into full production to build out the rest.”Īntoniades said that Ninja Theory “didn’t want to do a straight sequel - we wanted to do something extra special, and so we’re making our lives as difficult as possible in that pursuit.” Ninja Theory’s sequel to Hellblade : Senua’s Sacrifice didn’t make an appearance at Microsoft’s Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase at E3 2021 for what sounds like a very good reason: The game, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, appears to still be quite early in development, based on a new update from the developer.
