Ninja Theory has announced the release date to the upcoming title Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. The title is set to launch August 8 for $29.99 on Playstation 4 and PC.

Users who pre-order the game on PlayStation 4 will receive a Hellblade dynamic theme that depicts the burning tree scene from the game. Users who pre-order on PC will receive an exclusive digital comic short, titled Hellblade: Senua’s Song, a collaboration with comic book publisher Valiant Entertainment featuring words by Hellblade creative director Tameem Antoniades and art from multiple Eisner Award nominee Ben Templesmith.

Here’s an overview of the game, via Ninja Theory:

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice comes from the makers of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and DmC: Devil May Cry. It is the story of Senua, a traumatized Celtic warrior journeying into the Viking underworld of hel. Supported by Wellcome and created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull players deep into Senua’s mind.

Ninja Theory delays Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

Leave a comment

Ninja Theory has sadly announced a delay for Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice in their latest video update, that you can watch below.

The video states the following reasons for the delay:

  • Earlier in 2016, a project in development at Ninja Theory was cancelled, which took some time to sort out.
  • Ninja Theory had a rare opportunity to collaborate with Epic Games and others to push performance capture technology forward for the whole video games industry.
  • Ninja Theory’s progress on Hellblade has not been as fast as it would have liked. One of the reasons it’s creating Hellblade independently is because it puts decisions in the hands of Ninja Theory. Rushing the game out for release or compromising on quality is not something it is willing to entertain.

No final release date has been announced except that it will release in 2017 for Playstation 4 and PC.
