During the Xbox Developer Direct presentation, the release date and platforms for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 were announced. The developers from Ninja Theory also shared more insights into the game's story.
The video featured during the Xbox Direct presentation provides insight into Senua's upcoming journey, set in the myth-ridden and tyrannical landscape of Iceland.
In the first game of the series, 2017's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, players followed the harrowing quest of Senua, a Celtic warrior battling severe psychosis. Her mission was to venture into the Viking underworld of Helheim to save the soul of her beloved Dillion.
Throughout her journey, Senua faced supernatural undead creatures known as Draugar, which served as both in-game enemies and representations of her inner demons, manifesting as voices and hallucinations due to her mental state.
Now we have more information on what to expect in Hellblade 2.
