The thematic elements of Hellblade made it a favorite for many games in 2017 as the game explored the decaying psyche of Senua. Ninja Theory have brought the character back for a much-anticipated sequel, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and we’ve got all the latest news from release date to platforms.
One of the endearing qualities of the original Hellblade was how it depicted mental health. It painted a clear and terrifyingly organic descent into psychosis and made Senua one of the more remarkable protagonists in recent years.
The game ended up being a success and a sequel was quickly greenlit. After being announced at the 2019 Game Awards, the same event showcased its first major trailer two years later. A lot of eyes will be on Senua’s Saga Hellblade II, so here’s a quick guide to the game so far.
