Tameem Antoniades, “chief creative ninja” at Ninja Theory, said in a development update Thursday that the Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 team is currently “building a good chunky slice of the game before we then move into full production to build out the rest.”Īntoniades said that Ninja Theory “didn’t want to do a straight sequel - we wanted to do something extra special, and so we’re making our lives as difficult as possible in that pursuit.” Since then, we’ve learned that the Ninja Theory team has doubled in size for its follow-up title and that the game will run on Unreal Engine 5.Ninja Theory’s sequel to Hellblade : Senua’s Sacrifice didn’t make an appearance at Microsoft’s Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase at E3 2021 for what sounds like a very good reason: The game, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, appears to still be quite early in development, based on a new update from the developer. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II was first announced in December of last year during The Game Awards 2019. We’re developing new tools and methods of assembling a grounded truth, from which we can create our journey. Whether it’s a sound, a trickle of a stream, sounds of a forest, the light, the clouds, the landscapes, satellite data - all of these things. Everything should be based on something real. This is the approach we’re taking with everything in Hellblade. Antoniades described Ninja’s Theory’s naturalistic path in regard to Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II: This means an audio team explored Iceland as well. The core creative team, including Senua actor Melina Juergens, explored the locations, too, in order for Ninja Theory to become fully wrapped in the area’s immersive qualities.
Eventually, Sagafilm helped capture the essence of 40 separate locations, which were later narrowed down to be the long journey players will take in the sequel.
Captivated by the beauty of Iceland, the director began to think of ideas for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. The goal, writer and director Tameem Antoniades said, is to “capture that sense of awe and epic of Senua’s journey, as she travels hundreds of miles seamlessly across Iceland, and reproduce it, recreate it - a ninth-century version of Iceland that is as real and immersive as possible.”Īntoniades said he went traveling following the development of the original Hellblade. Ninja Theory’s second episode of its Dreadnought Diaries series explains the process the team went through when creating its sequel. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will use real-life inspiration from Iceland when Senua takes her journey on Xbox Series X.
