Hellblade II features a deeper budget and a larger development team, so we may see more complicated combat, bigger set pieces, and brand-new mechanics.
With Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, we're expecting significant expansions to gameplay, even if at its core Hellblade II will likely be similar to its precursor. A third-person action-adventure title with linear melee combat and light puzzles, the first Hellblade was limited by the size of the team that built it. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was atmospherically stunning and technically impressive, but was relatively simple in its game mechanics. As part of Ninja Theory's efforts to consult mental health professionals and experts through The Insight Project, Hellblade II will explore how mental illness helps "shape myths, gods and religion." It was confirmed in a Ninja Theory developer diary by Creative Director Tameem Antoniades that Senua's Saga: Hellblade II expands on its predecessor in several ways beyond talking about psychosis. Senua's Saga: Hellblade II features a mysterious and mostly unknown story, but appears to take after the original by incorporating Pict culture and mythology, as well as Nord rituals, sacrifice, and more. Senua also confronted and made peace with her inner darkness the voices Ninja Theory has explicitly confirmed were modeled after real-world cases of psychosis. Hellblade: Senua's Saga saw the series' titular character Senua embark on a journey into Hel, where she confronted a wide variety of mythical beasts and deities, including the fire giant Surt and the God of Illusion, Valravn. Everything we've seen of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II indicates the action-adventure game is going to be a technical and visual showcase, especially with its scenic location of Iceland. The extra hands are needed to build Hellblade II from the ground up with Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5 for current-gen gaming hardware. There's a lot to look forward to from this highly anticipated title, and Ninja Theory is pulling out all the stops to ensure it meets its ambitions.Īnnounced during The Game Awards 2019, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is being developed by a team over twice the size of the team that worked on the first title, numbering over 40 in total. The sequel to the fan favorite Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Hellblade II continues the story of Senua (once again performed by the wonderfully talented Melina Juergens) with an expanded scope and world. Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is a first-party Xbox Game Studios title developed in-house by the talented developers at Ninja Theory.
