Xbox Game Studios is in the throes of becoming a multiplatform publisher almost exclusively. For an already experimental studio like Ninja Theory, the days of working on an unproven IP were numbered under this new company direction. I won’t turn my nose up at a Hellblade sequel that has improved combat and a lengthier journey for main protagonist Senua. Ninja Theory has proven that they’re capable of making fantastic single-player games supported by industry-leading performance capture in the past. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
