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. During this adventure, she struggles with her own hallucinations, and fends off the undead soldiers who seek to bring her down.Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Gameplay Reveal - The Game Awards 2021 In Senua’s Sacrifice, Senua travels through Helheim (the Underworld of Norse mythology) as part of a journey to rescue the soul of her dead lover, Dillion, from the goddess Hela. In case you didn’t play the original, Hellblade was a dark action-adventure game about Senua, a kick-ass Pict warrior dealing with mental health issues that she interprets as a curse placed on her. Hellblade 2 was revealed at The Game Awards 2019, with a dark, hard-hitting reveal trailer that didn’t give much away in terms of story or gameplay, but did reveal the key detail that the game is coming to next-generation Xbox and PC – it’s the release date we’re now curious about.

That means you can expect to see it on Xbox One, too.

The game is coming to both Xbox Series X and PC, Microsoft has confirmed, and it’ll be among the first to support the Xbox’s Smart Delivery technology that gives you access to the best version of the game on whichever system you’re playing on. Ninja Theory announced Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, the follow-up to 2017’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, back in late 2019.
