Self-described as an “independent AAA game”, Hellblade was created by a team of approximately twenty developers led by writer and director Tameem Antoniades.

It was released worldwide for Windows and PlayStation 4 in August 2017, Xbox One in April 2018, Nintendo Switch in April 2019, and Xbox Series X and Series S in August 2021. Hellblade features support for virtual reality, which was added in a 2018 update. Set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Norse mythology and Celtic culture, the game follows Senua, a Pict warrior who must make her way to Helheim by defeating otherworldly entities and facing their challenges, in order to rescue the soul of her dead lover from the goddess Hela. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a 2017 action-adventure game developed and published by the British video game development studio Ninja Theory.

We don’t have too many details on the upcoming sequel, but everything we know about Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 can be found below. Hellblade 2 will further navigate the role of Senua’s psychosis in the plot and in its gameplay, but how it will do that remains to be seen. In a world overpopulated by first-person shooters and battle royales, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice stood out for mixing psychological horror with hack and slash gameplay, including a fresh look at ancient mythology and featuring a rare study of mental illness in gaming.
