The film does not offer too much new information – instead, it focuses on, for example, the use of Unreal Engine 5 in the game, or real-time animation of the characters’ faces, which delighted the players. It’s an amazing trailer that really shows how much better the game is going to look compared to the previous installment . You can see actress Melina Juergens in the video – the producers wanted to show how good the game is doing by recording her facial expressions.
Unfortunately, Ninja Theory still hasn’t revealed when fans can expect the release of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. The first part was released in 2017. It debuted first on PS4 and PC, with versions for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch arriving in 2018 and 2019. Ninja Theory was bought by Microsoft in 2018, and Hellblade 2 is currently only set to release on PC and Xbox Series X and S. This is sure to disappoint some fans, but the sequel promises to be an exciting Microsoft exclusive.
Ninja Theory made headlines when director Tameem Antoniades told NME that Hellblade 2 would make the series look independent. Antoniades received a lot of criticism for this comment, as many indie developers were offended by the negative connotations. While he may have chosen his words a little more carefully, it’s easy to see that Hellblade 2 already looks like a marked improvement over its predecessor. Of course, graphics aren’t everything, and it remains to be seen whether the sequel will be able to deliver an experience that matches the first game. For now, fans will have to wait patiently to find out!
