It begins to reach for her, and Senua retreats, with more men behind her readying and tossing spears. She calls the giant’s attention to herself. A second appears, but is splattered by the giant’s hand. Senua, now alone, calls for her allies, but is answered by one running from the dust engulfed in flames. The giant groans as more spears fly, falling to the floor and kicking up a wall of dust. When the spear hits, it erupts into flame. She takes a flaming spear from one man as another throws a container of black liquid, presumably oil, onto the giant. She tells her men to hold back until the giant rests against the stone wall. A giant crawls, appearing weak or tired, ahead. She pushes on, voices warning that “death is coming”, and inspects skeletal remains littering the cave. In the mist, something massive lurks and groans. She jogs in with the group, flaming torches and spears in hand, though Senua herself appears unarmed. As she gives orders to the others, we hear the familiar whispering voices in Senua’s head pulling her in different directions and asking questions. After a bit of narration declaring war on the Gods, we come to Senua leading a band of warriors into a cave. The newest gameplay reveal gives a much more cohesive look at what the game will actually be. In that initial reveal, we simply saw landscapes as Senua let out a guttural and off-putting chant and made distorted facial expressions while the imagery became more and more disturbing. It wasn’t until the 2021 Game Awards that we got our first good, extended look at Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, while the first trailer we got was more of a tone piece. Currently confirmed to be one of the new titles in development for the Xbox Series X, the game once again stars Senua on a journey through a hostile world based in the myths and legends of the Norse.Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Gameplay Reveal - The Game Awards 2021 Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is an action adventure video game currently in development by Ninja Theory. The story follows Senua, a Pict warrior who must defeat otherworldly beings to rescue the soul of her dead boyfriend from the goddess Hela – simple, right? Well, Senua is struggling with psychosis, which makes her an unreliable narrator and makes the gameplay disorienting – Ninja Theory made sure to work close with mental health specialists, neuroscientists, and people living with psychosis to portray it in as respectful a manner as possible.
The original Hellblade was lauded for its compelling plot and its innovative use of motion capture.
