One of the main announcements at the past Xbox Developer Direct 2023 was the long-awaited release date for the sequel to Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice from Ninja Theory. You can go to the terrifying Scandinavian world, full of real challenges and terrible monsters, on May 21. A special video with gameplay footage was also timed to coincide with the release of the game.
Developers from the Ninja Theory studio today confirmed previous leaks and speculation. The release date for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 was announced at the end of last year. The announcement was quite expected for those who closely followed the project, but even for them the fresh video has its value. The new video showed several story scenes and battles with enemies.
As the authors of the action game note, in the sequel they completely redesigned the combat system. Many mechanics and features from the original game have been greatly improved or completely changed to make combat with opponents more dynamic for the player. At the same time, each battle will be a real test, because even an ordinary enemy can be mortally dangerous for the heroine.
According to the creators of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, they have completely redesigned the combat system compared to the first part. They made it so that Senua doesn’t feel like a hero. The girl will have a hard time winning battles, and the players will feel it.
In Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II we took everything to the next level, especially when it comes to motion capture. This sequel also has completely new combat and it is very different from the first game, it is very brutal. She’s not a superhero, she’s fighting for survival.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 directly continues the story of a girl named Senua, who lost her husband due to tragic events. In the first game, she managed to come to terms with her loss, but she is still tormented by terrible psychological problems that she will have to face during the new story.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be available to play on May 21, 2024 on PC and Xbox Series consoles. You will soon be able to pre-order the game through the Xbox brand store or on the familiar Steam platform. On the game’s release day, it will also be available for free to all Game Pass subscribers on consoles and PCs.
