Hellblade 2 New Trailer Revealed. Releasing in 2024 | Xbox Showcase 2023
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
By how hard it is for them to show anything about this game I predict it will be about 5h long with barely any decent gameplay.
They have worked on this for close to 5 years at this point and this is what they had to show. Some performance capture of a lady walking in a cave.

More cinematic bullshit. It's been 4 years already, we should be seeing hard gameplay by now.
True but they should showing us some serious gameplay segments. I know the original was heavy on cinematics but we've seen enough of that in these trailers. They should be showing us some of the combat and puzzles by now. I wanna see what they've done with those aspects of the game in the sequel.
People thought they were getting a AAA game and they're not even getting a game
Game looks just as stupid as the first one. I don't know why people are thinking this is going to be some great game. Ninja Theory doesn't make good games. Look at their history. The idea that somehow adding MS to the equation is going to elevate their offerings has no basis in any demonstrated reality, from any MS partnership, ever.
I mainly hate them for making that gay DmC game.
If you are counting on Ninja Theory to make you a flagship game you done fucked up.
Looking fantastic, really enjoyed the first one so sad that it's not coming to playstation which why I'm glad xbox release on PC.
Seriously, this is the one game they have that I hoped could deliver a great sequel (there was potential for a good evolution on the first one).
The devs have talked about how Hellblade II would be "much bigger" and more ambitious than the first game, with more in-depth mechanics.
But they've yet to show any of that off, and the game is supposedly coming next year. Nothing they have shown so far indicates this is a sequel to the first game, except for some story elements. Even visually the recent footage didn't look particularly bounds above the 2017 original.
Right now it feels more and more like Hellblade II could be an expansion to the first game instead of its own sequel, they've shown almost nothing about the supposed expansion in game mechanics, game loop, or the more open-ended scope.
1 year ago they were still in preproduction building the vertical slice. The game got announced with a CG when they still weren't developing it.
As of today Hellblade 2 has less than 1 year of full production, pretty likely less than half a year. I'd say it's too early to see proper gameplay. Also, I think it won't be released in 2024 but that they said it because of 'lack of 1st party releases' pressure.
