There is currently no official release date for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. The excitement is understandable, since its predecessor, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, is one of the most critically acclaimed releases in gaming history, but will Hellblade 2 also be coming to PS4 and PS5?

Ninja Theory’s sequel to 2017’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice does not have a release date.There was a decent amount of hype surrounding Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 after it was revealed during the Game Awards in 2019 with a rather dark and mysterious trailer. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is coming to Windows PC and Xbox Series X. That’s what you can see in the video above - which also serves as a fresh, albeit brief, look at Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, a title we haven’t heard from in a while. Unreal Engine’s MetaHuman technology processes that simple footage to apply detailed facial animations to a 3D model, expressing fear, anger, and more subtle looks without a human needing to finesse it.īut using a more sophisticated performance capture rig, it can also apply highly detailed facial animations in real time to Epic’s MetaHuman models. Melina Juergens, performance capture artist for Ninja Theory, and the actor behind Senua, showed how Unreal 5 can take footage of a performance using little more than an iPhone camera and turn it into usable facial animation. While the talk was primarily game developer-focused, the takeaway for most people will be “Damn, this looks pretty good!”

Epic Games showed off new animation technology during its State of Unreal presentation at this week’s Game Developers Conference, illustrating how developer Ninja Theory is using Unreal Engine 5 to bring Senua to life for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.
