Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 receives new trailer, release window remains 2024

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 has received a new trailer at The Game Awards.

The trailer showed off more of the game’s narrative, though stopped short of a full release date. The trailer ended with the same ‘2024’ release window the game has had for some time now.

Ninja Theory and studio owner Microsoft announced Hellblade 2 at The Game Awards in December 2019.

“Hellblade was very special for us and we didn’t want to do a straight sequel, we wanted to do something extra special, and so we’re making our lives as difficult as possible in that pursuit,” Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades said in a behind the scenes video released in June 2021.

“The game is set in ninth century Iceland, so we’ve been sending our art and audio teams out there doing photography, photogrammetry and combining it with satellite data to recreate large swathes of the landscape.

“On the character front, we’re building real costumes, scanning them in. We’re collaborating with Epic Games to bring you next generation digital characters.

“On the combat front, we wanted to be extra real and brutal and so Melina, our main actress, has been training for two years, and all of our animators have undergone combat training.”
