Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is set for release on August 8, Ninja Theory shared news on Twitter that the game has completed development, marking the end of the studio’s experiment into the development of an affordable mid-tier title–which it chronicled in a YouTube series for nearly three years.
Coming from the same studio behind DmC: Devil May Cry, Enslaved: Odyssey To The West, and Heavenly Sword, this story driven adventure game for PC and PS4 is looking to channel the same focus on character drama to go with its rich and intriguing presentation. In this new trailer, we see more of the central protagonist’s anguish and despair as she attempts to reconcile her mental strife with the world around her–which appears to be in some rather deep turmoil of its own. Hellblade’s story is told from her perspective.
The games also includes a Photo Mode for the game. Much like other games that use a Photo Mode, such as Horizon: Zero Dawn , you’ll be able to pause and freely move around the camera to find the perfect shot–which can then have various filters and adjustments applied to it. It’ll be interesting to see what sort of content comes up from the Photo Mode, as many players had fun messing around with ones from other titles.
The game drops on August 8th!
