Exciting news comes from developer Ninja Theory that took part in Xbox Developer_Direct with action–adventure Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. The sequel to the award winning Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice arrives on May 21, 2024! Are you ready to join Senua on her new quest?
Check out the video above for a deeper insight with the members of the development team, including Studio Dom Matthews, Studio Head at Ninja Theory. The studio’s approach to the sequel remained the same despite the developers themselves transitioning from being independent to working within Xbox Game Studios. Their commitment is to craft life-changing art with game-changing tech.
The developers note that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will be a game crafted from the heart, featuring focused narrative and similar in length to its predecessor.
“And you can once again expect to join Senua in understanding her world through perception puzzles led by her experiences of psychosis, in brutal and visceral combat and in traversal gameplay, this time across the harsh but beautiful landscapes of 10th Century Iceland. Crucially, all these elements are intertwined in a unique visual and audio experience, where everything is in service of Senua’s story. So, you can expect more of the same, but this time with the support to push our ambitions for immersion, fidelity and richness far further than before.”
