Note: This is a developing story. More new info on Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will be added soon.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II was one of the first games announced for the Xbox Series X/S all the way back in 2019, and in some ways, it’s become somewhat emblematic of Xbox Game Studios’ inability to get content out in a timely fashion. In the four years since Hellblade II was revealed we haven’t seen that much of the game and it's been rather unclear how well developer Ninja Theory is progressing on the ambitious project.
Well, today at the big Xbox Games Showcase we got a nice update, with Ninja Theory confirmed a 2024 release for the game. We also got a peek at some new footage, running on Xbox Series X. The footage begins with a look at an impressively-detailed cave environment, but mostly, it’s a character-driven trailer, focused on Senua again battling with the voices in her head. While not the most action-packed clip, it is a good showcase of Hellblade II’s industry-leading facial animations. You can check out the new Hellblade II trailer for yourself, below.
It looks like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is shaping up quite well. Will it actually end up being a Xbox Series X system seller? That remains to be seen. Haven’t been keeping up with the game? You can get a look at the game’s cutting-edge facial animations here and an earlier trailer here.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II ventures onto PC and Xbox Series X/S sometime in 2024.
