Third ‘Hellblade’ Title ‘Senua’ Announced, Coming in 2027 to PS5, Xbox Series and PC [Trailer]
Ninja Theory had its own surprise at the Xbox Games Showcase, announcing that a third entry in the Hellblade series is in development, and unlike the previous entry, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, you won’t have to wait five years to play. Simply titled Senua, the game will launch in 2027 for will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store.
Taking place after the events of Hellblade and Hellblade II, Senua is set in a fractured vision of purgatory, where a Celtic warrior (which is Senua) must fight to reach the afterlife and reunite with those she has loved and lost. Story details are purposely being kept under wraps for now, but players can expect to confront threats both within and without, master tactical combat to overcome nightmarish creatures, and explore a fantastical world shaped by myth and memory.
Remedy wasn’t done with revealing more of the upcoming Control Resonant. After dropping a new story trailer during Summer Game Fest last Friday, the developer has released a new trailer that offers another glimpse into the game’s take on Manhattan, as well as a mini-documentary offering a behind-the-scenes look at the game’s development.
The new trailer offers another glimpse into the game’s paranaturally transformed Manhattan, highlighting several of the city’s diverse locations, fast-paced combat, supernatural abilities, and encounters with the otherworldly threats reshaping reality.
Meanwhile, the Control Resonant mini-documentary features Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen, Art Director Elmeri Raitanen, and Lead Level Designer Anne-Marie Grönroos as they look at the paranaturally transformed Manhattan, discussing how the game expands beyond the confines of the Oldest House, introduces gravity-defying traversal and exploration, and combines melee combat, supernatural abilities, and reactive environments to create a dynamic action-RPG sandbox.
