Today is the release day of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the sequel to 2017's excellent action-adventure game. The game was released on PC (Steam and Microsoft Store), Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X consoles.

  1. The game was unlocked at 1:00 am. At the same time, the network should be flooded with reviews, because that's when the embargo on them will also end.
  2. The price of the game is $49.99.
  3. The game is also be available on Game Pass, both on PC and consoles.

The announcement from the devs worried players

On the occasion of the game's premiere, Ninja Theory studio published a special announcement. They expressed gratitude to their fans for their love and support, and took pride in their achievements, while also highlighting the immense difficulty of developing games today.

Some players took the tone of the message as a farewell and began to fear that this might be the team's last game. These concerns aren't unfounded, as Microsoft, which owns the developer, has recently shut down several studios. Furthermore, many people drew attention to the extremely modest marketing campaign for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, considering it as evidence that the company had written off both the game and its creators.

Microsoft seems to have noticed the somber atmosphere, which wasn't suitable for such a major premiere. Verified insiders have received information from sources within the company that Ninja Theory is currently working on the previously announced Project Mara game, and also that the studio recently got the go-ahead from Microsoft for another game. At least for now, the future of the studio seems to be secured.
