Where the first game, titled Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, was developed solely by Ninja Theory, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is a collaborative project for both developers, with Microsoft set to handle the publishing. RELATED: Hellblade 2's Norse Setting May Be a Double-Edged Sword New Partnership Could Be Causing Hellblade 2's DelayĪ reason for this delay in production could be the new partnership between Microsoft and Ninja Theory. Instead, Hellblade 2 seems to be stretching the limits as much as possible, just like Forspoken, another title that has endured incessant delays throughout its development. Usually, when titles are announced, unless otherwise stated by the developers, gamers are used to getting the release within a relatively short window of time. In fact, before the release of the gameplay trailer, in June 2021, the developers revealed Hellblade 2 had not yet entered full production, much to the befuddlement of franchise fans. Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 had its first trailer drop in 2019, and progress reports were mere whispers until Ninja Theory released a trailer focused on gameplay toward the end of 2021.
Announced at the same time as the Xbox Series X in 2019, Hellblade 2 still finds itself without a definite window for release despite the Series X launching almost immediately after the big announcement. While strange, unfortunately, there are a few titles that get delayed for years due to a plethora of reasons, and this unfortunate scenario is one Hellblade 2 currently finds itself in. Some titles are pushed back by mere weeks and others stretch into months, but general practice is to ensure fans don't wait too long to get updates to their favorite franchises so that anticipation for releases doesn't disappear into thin air. In the gaming industry, it's the natural order of business for releases to get delayed.
