‘Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice” Locks In Release Date
After all the teasers and the developer diaries (including some amazing art and animation), Ninja Theory’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice finally has a release date of August 8th for $30. In addition, we also have a new trailer!
The game, which will be released for both PC and Playstation 4, has been in development since 2014, and has been taking the unique route of approaching the level of quality of a AAA game, but being half the size and price. The drawback of this is that the game will (for now) be a digital-only release.
Pre-orders are available now, with the offer on the Playstation Store being a dynamic theme, and on GOG.com and Steam, you can get a digital comic short entitled “Hellblade: Senua’s Song”, illustrated by Ben Templesmith.
Set in the age of Vikings, and based on Celtic and Norse mythology, a Celtic warrior named Senua must embark on a personal journey through the underworld to fight for the soul of her dead lover.

Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
