Hellblade 2 is in Trouble

Hellblade 2 is only days away, though by the marketing, it may be hard to tell. Today, we’re discussing the challenges facing the much-anticipated Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. Set to launch on May 21, 2024, the sequel to the hit game Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is facing some hurdles. There are rumors that Microsoft might release Hellblade 2 on the PS5, which could cause issues for the Xbox exclusive’s developer, Ninja Theory. This news comes amidst reports of layoffs at Xbox, raising concerns about the game’s future.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Xbox Game Studios. The game is the sequel to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. It is scheduled to release for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on 21 May 2024.

Studios get cut and shuttered all the time. It can often be for good reasons and to studios we don't think deserved it - that's the way of fair business. But these recent cuts feel more haphazard than a delicate culling. Reports are even showing that MS execs don't have the manpower to manage all these studios. This is not good for Ninja Theory at all.

[@AylaBelle]

I am very worried for the IP. Hellblade is a passion project by ninja theory who really did their due diligence to not only execute a unique and powerful idea that represents a misunderstood community but also knock it out of the park with such a small team. This team and IP deserves to still be free to expand and explore in the world if that is what they want, and the incompetence and implosion of Xbox shouldn’t take this to the grave along side them. Really hoping for the best for Ninja Theory and Senua’s stories…

[@thomaslanders2073]

I hope Microsoft closes the Ninja Theory studio. Their games are overhyped by certain people on social media for some reason but their lack of commercial success shows that these games don't resonate with a large audience 🧐

[@lilpain1997]

Yup agreed. Not sure why it got good reviews as it's actually pretty damn boring overall. Yeah it does some things well but it's boring... So it don't matter.

[@toastyburger]

At a town hall with Zenimax employees, Matt Booty said the company’s studios had been spread too thin - like “peanut butter on bread” - and that leaders across the division had felt understaffed. They decided to close these studios to free up resources elsewhere. Closing Ninja Theory would not help ZeniMax, so they shouldn't be affected by what's going on there. I suspect the problem is Starfield and Redfall underperforming, which puts pressure on ZeniMax. Leadership blamed a lack of management staff for the poor performance of their games. To provide more oversight, they had to close a few studios. They picked Tango and Arkane Austin because they are between games I guess finishing Redfall doesn't count).

[@Brimst0ne_XB]

The whole thing is ridiculous. Microsoft gives studios unrealistic release dates then when the games release unfinished they blame the studios.

Your "that's what books are for" argument could apply to films. Entertainment has evolved since 1880.

[@G.R.I.T.666]

None of that sounds like a problem except Microsoft shutting down ather studios. That bein said ninja theory is still an independent studio not owned by microsoft and could easily continue without them. Anything higher than 30fps for a game with that level of graphics doesn't make sense. Also why do you need higher fps for this game anyway? It's not like that .5 seconds you get for reaction time would make any difference. The marketing direction doesn't really bother me either their could be several reasons for that. The two biggest reason i can think of is the studio played psychological tricks in the first one and making everyone panick over something they don't actually know could be same idea. Also it's not a huge game with hours upon hours of content so if they kept releasing more we would've seen half the game by now so i think that would be most likely the reason. Like for real anyone who played the first one should already know what to expect from what they did put out. I think everyone needs to stop jumping to conclusions.
