Senua, an action-heavy Hellblade sequel, arrives in 2027

Ninja Theory

During nan Xbox Games Showcase, it was revealed that Ninja Theory is returning to nan world of Hellblade. Senua is simply a spot of a different rotation connected nan series, arsenic it's "a full-on action-adventure," according to an Xbox Wire blog post. It's coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox connected PC, Steam and PS5 successful 2027. Naturally, Senua will beryllium connected Game Pass.

This caller crippled will seemingly person expanded combat, much puzzles to lick and immoderate state to explore, though it still has a linear story. An action-heavy trailer shows Senua taking connected a bunch of baddies and getting drenched successful liquid gold. It looks rather pretty.

As for simply calling it Senua, "that really reflects that this is thing caller and caller and different. It is simply a different style of game," Dom Matthews, Ninja Theory workplace head, said. "I deliberation Hellblade I and Hellblade II had an volition that we delivered connected — but this is simply a different intention. I deliberation of it arsenic being additive — we're taking each of that goodness and adding nan types of things that group expect from a premium action-adventure game."

Matthews says Senua has a representation that's astir doubly nan size of nan 1 successful Hellblade II. It's been successful improvement since September 2024, conscionable a fewer months aft Ninja Theory shipped nan erstwhile crippled successful nan series. The communicative takes spot aft nan events of nan first 2 Hellblade games and it's group successful purgatory. I'm judge that won't tie immoderate comparisons to God of War Laufey.
