Ninja Theory gained quite a following when they delivered Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice back in 2017. The game was set up as an action-adventure game where players followed a female Pict warrior named Senua. Dealing with psychosis, Senua is forced to endure a harsh world filled with horrors to fight back and puzzles to solve. That initial game captivated audiences worldwide; fortunately, we’re not done with Senua quite yet. If you enjoyed that first game, you know a sequel has been in the works. Unveiled back in 2019, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II has been in development. Of course, the big change since the first installment is that Microsoft has picked up Ninja Theory.

Likewise, we knew that this upcoming game would revamp the fighting system, but beyond combat, we can likely expect plenty of puzzle-solving as well. Leading into the Xbox Developer Direct, Microsoft confirmed that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II would be one of the games featured. 

During the video stream, we got a new look at the game and behind-the-scenes of the upcoming installment. Players will follow Senua as she fights back the Vikings that once raided her village.

Likewise, as mentioned, you’ll find a new combat system. The developers strive to ensure Senua doesn’t feel like an overpowered hero. Instead, Senua should go into battle and fight for survival. Players will feel like Senua just barely makes it through the fight. 

Fortunately, we can still expect the upcoming Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II this year. The developers noted
