Josh West: "I visited Ninja Theory to get behind-the-scenes insight into one of the most important Xbox exclusives of the year."
Ninja Theory's upcoming action game, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, won't need a day one patch based on information shared in a new interview.
No wonder the review embargo ends at release day.
Best of luck to team ninja I hope the game sale as much as its predecessor or way more
its gotten so common to have a day1 patch woth newer games, that devs even advertise their games with "no day 1 patch" haha.
The pre-load for Xbox Game Studios and Ninja Theory's Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is now available, and the download size has been revealed.
When is this game releasing? There's no hype for it, no promotion..and this game looks good. Wth MS?
Xbox's handling of the marketing for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is casting a huge doubt over the future of its developer, Ninja Theory.
They should be worried. They we told they were free to be creative to dev. a walking sim, and now Phil and the Lady are walking that back.
Everything they bought is at risk, Game Pass is NEVER going to be able to support all the development for these studios while also maintaining any kind of catalog of new games.
If it wasn't supporting itself before they bought all these studios it's obviously not going to be able to support even more.
Pretty apparent they next on the cutting block. Hellblade 2 is a week out and the only noise from XBOX marketing is akin to a fart. Not even a loud pants-ripping fart....but a shameful supressed one.
There's no way Ninja Theory stays in business after Hellblade 2.
It's a digital only release, it's been in development for over five years, and it's a Game Pass Day One, which means it's not going to blow any sales charts apart. That's already taking into account that Ninja Theory don't make games that sell multiple millions, they cater to a niche audience.
Ninja Theory has been around for a very long time and they've served their audience well, DmC aside, but I'm betting on them closing or being absorbed soon.
That was not a high bar to beat, from what has been shown of hellblade is dark, does not look impressive at all, the combat is basic, not open world, 30fps which sucks balls, graphics are your usual unreal engine look.
A new standard alright. 30 fps on a Series X....Yeah great job raising the bar..
I’m curious to see how much this actually draws. Granted Xbox is starved for quality exclusives, but I don’t think Hellblade as a property will ever have big mass appeal. It’s great but it’s definitely a bit heavy on the artistic psychological end to be a blockbuster I think. Kinda like the game version of The Northman. Hopefully I’m wrong, Xbox needs a win.
It was made for the S. There will be a ton on rails scripting to hold this game together. It will probably run like a high end mobile game.
Everyone bashing 30fps locked when most performance modes lately are total trash with massive dips down to 30 anyway and a blurry image. Performance modes lately are an illusion.
