Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is a game project that was announced in 2019 alongside the launch of Xbox Series X|S. However, after several years, the game has yet to be released.
Last night, Ninja Theory, the English studio under the Microsoft umbrella, announced that the game will be released on May 21, 2024, simultaneously on PC via Steam, Xbox, and Game Pass.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is a sequel to the game Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, which was released in 2017. The game is an action-oriented dark fantasy set in the world inspired by Norse and Celtic mythology. The protagonist is the female warrior, Senua, who must journey to Helheim, the Norse underworld, to retrieve the soul of her loved one.
The story of the second installment revolves around Senua traveling to Iceland and encountering the brutal rule of the Vikings who govern the island during that period. She must fight to liberate the islanders and bring them freedom.
Another interesting point is that the game is priced at $49.99, which is slightly cheaper than current-gen games. The development team stated that they opted for this pricing strategy because the story is not overly long, and they chose to release it solely as a digital version with no physical disc, enabling it to be sold at this price point.
TL;DR – Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, the highly-anticipated game, has finally received a release date of May 21, 2024. Players will be able to embark on an action-packed journey with the fierce warrior, Senua, as she battles the cruel Vikings and fights to free the islanders. With its captivating dark fantasy setting and affordable price, this game is sure to enthrall gamers worldwide.
