For Ninja Theory, the idea to continue Senua\u2019s journey was never in doubt. Hellblade: Senua\u2019s Sacrifice<\/em> is a complete story in itself; but the studio knew it had more stories to tell. Studio Head Dom Matthews tells us that the team wanted to leave a door open for Senua, but the path to creating a follow-up was initially unclear while the studio remained independent. Now, as part of Xbox Game Studios, it\u2019s quite a different story. This sequel feels larger than life; every single element has been refined, from its hyper-realistic environments, haunting audio design, to its stunning performance-captured combat.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a fantastic building; our performance capture stage, new technologies and techniques, but all of that exists to pursue the same goal,\u201d Matthews tells us. \u201cThat goal is to create an experience that allows players to suspend their disbelief and immerse themselves fully in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n Senua\u2019s Saga: Hellblade II<\/em> follows swiftly after the final events of the first game, where Senua says goodbye to her lover Dillion for the final time. From here, she\u2019s to embark on a new quest, to ensure that no one ever meets the same fate as Dillion again. Senua is stronger, fiercer, and \u2013 while she\u2019s still ailed by her psychosis \u2013 she\u2019s come to understand how it manifests, and how its grown to be an important part of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s come to a place of acceptance of two things,\u201d Matthews tells us. \u201cOne is her experience of psychosis and unique view of the world, and the other is that she can\u2019t bring Dillion back. So here, we find a Senua that has found determination, and a way to turn her agonizing grief into positive action, so that Dillion\u2019s death wasn\u2019t for nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\nEmbarking on a New Quest\u00a0<\/h2>\n
