‘Hellblade’ Finally Heading to Xbox One April 11th
Look, we all know that Ninja Theory’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is awesome. Unfortunately, for Xbox One users, they haven’t had the opportunity to experience the awesomeness. Well, that changes next month, as the critically-acclaimed action game is headed to Xbox One April 11th.
As an added bonus, for XBox One X users, Hellblade will also be enhanced for Xbox One X. According to Ninja Theory, Hellblade will come equipped with three performance modes: Enhanced Visuals will add extra effects and visual quality; High Framerate will run the game at 60 frames per second; and High Resolution will run the game at 4K resolution with dynamic scaling. HDR is supported as standard on both Xbox One and Xbox One X. Hellblade will set you back $30USD on Xbox, but you’ll get a 10% discount if you pre-order today.
I hate to sound like a broken record, so I’ll just say *insert line urging you to buy the Hellblade here*.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
