Shown with a gameplay video at The Game Awards 2021, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 “will not set itself the goal of perfecting what it did with the previous episode, but will aim to create an experience that appears. more credible and refined“said Antoniades.
“This sequel will boast substantially greater ambitions in terms of amplitude. I think Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will make the original Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice look like a simple indie game. ”
Ninja Theory visited and scanned further forty locations in Iceland to feed them into Hellblade’s graphics engine. Real costumes were created and then scanned, and Melina Juergens trained to fight with experts to be able to execute Senua’s moves in the game.
