Jul. 26, 2017Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Releases 10 Minutes of Visceral Gameplay
Today we got a long 10 minute look at some of the visceral gameplay in Ninja Theory’s upcoming action titleHellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. Check it out:
In the video, Senua heads across the treacherous bridge to Helheim, the land of dead. In Hellblade, we make our way through a dark world from the folklore of the Celts and take on the role of a female warrior named Senua who journeys to the land of the dead. Afflicted by mental illness, Senua will battle her inner demons as well as dangerous enemies using a variety of tactical combos and abilities.
As you can see in the video, the third person camera is pulled in tight, increasing the tension by increasing the proximity to the enemies. The combat is methodical and is a departure from the hack and slash of past Ninja Theory titles. Similar to the newGod of War, the game is taking its cues from aDark Soulsperspective.
We also got a look at some new screenshots for the game that you can check out below:

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
Interesting perspective. I’m actually feeling differently about it. I like the camera perspective and weighty feel to everything. This is looking to be one of those unique polarizing games that is going to have strong opinions in either direction.
For a game that releases in a few weeks that’s some really questionable animation and hitbox issues. I see it’s only $30, but that’s some really concerning gameplay in my opinion.
