Six days ahead of the launch of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Microsoft and Ninja Theory have decided to drop a little recap trailer for those who “walked in late”. In other words, if you missed out on playing the excellent Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, this new video explains the events that transpired prior to Hellblade II.
For those that do need reminding, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice (which is available on Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch) centres on Senua, a Celtic warrior who embarks on a vision quest into Viking Hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover. The BAFTA-winning title is noteworthy for its frank and novel approach to psychosis, coupled with its excellent story and characters.
The sequel, which was announced back in 2019, once again centres on Senua, who sets out on “a brutal journey of survival through the myth and torment of Viking Iceland”, intent on saving those who have suffered under Norse tyranny. No longer seeing her condition as a curse, Senua now uses her condition to aid her in battle.
Hellblade II features a revamped fighting system from the previous game, which aims to have the player feel the visceral combat, which has been “made to feel like you’re really there with [Senua]“.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will arrive on PC via Steam, Xbox Series, and day one on Xbox Game Pass.
