The Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase at E3 2021 was already packed to the brim with announcements and reveals, so Microsoft spun out some content into an “extended” version of the showcase. Already, one of the biggest participants of the extended showcase has been Ninja Theory, which has made an appearance to share a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.
Many players lamented the fact that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II didn’t appear during the initial Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, but Ninja Theory wasn’t quite ready to share more about the game. However, they were happy to prepare an incredible behind-the-scenes trailer, which helps get players amped for this ambitious project. In the trailer, we learn that Melina Juergens, the actress behind Senua, has been training tirelessly for over two years to prepare for Hellblade II.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II doesn’t have a release date right now, and is likely still several years away. We do know that the game is heading to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass. Ninja Theory is building Hellblade II with UnrealEngine 5, using the latest gaming technologies to ensure the best possible experience. When Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II finally releases, it’ll almost certainly become one of the best Xbox games ever released.

Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft’s biggest opportunity since Windows itself
At E3 2021, Microsoft outlined its vision for moving beyond its console install base, capturing audiences who can’t buy, or simply don’t want to buy, a video game console. The opportunity Microsoft has here is potentially huge, on a scale unlike anything the company has seen since Windows itself.
