Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is the upcoming sequel to 2017’s award-winning Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. With a new eight-minute presentation at Xbox Developer Direct, Ninja Theory released new information and an exact release date for the game.
Comprised of breathtaking in-game footage, all captured on the Xbox Series X, and a mesmerizing soundtrack, the new trailer teases where the story of the franchise is headed. Senua, the main character, is heard in voiceover narration, promising to fight for the lost ones “until the very last beat fades away.”
According to the trailer’s description, the sequel sees Senua returning “in a brutal journey of survival through the myth and torment of Viking Iceland” after the events of Senua’s Sacrifice. “Intent on saving those who have fallen victim to the horrors of tyranny,” it reads. “Senua faces a battle of overcoming the darkness within and without.”
With shots of beautiful scenery mixed with adrenaline-filled combat scenes, this new trailer has everything players are looking for.
What is the release date for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II?
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is coming out on May 21, 2024.
