Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II - Gameplay Reveal | The Game Awards 2021 

Her voice acting is seriously so good, she throws everything she’s got into it it’s incredible

It looks great Ninja Theory, take your time.

Her voice acting is so ferocious and immersive! gives me the chills. keep up the good work!

Senua is no longer alone! That makes me happy. There are people she watches, and people who watch her.

This looks way beyond incredible! Everything about this is next level. The visuals. The sound design. Motion acting. Damn!

Other games: Normal gameplay with cinematic cutscenes. Hellblade 2: Cinematic gameplay that looks like cutscenes.

Hellblade is a slap to most AAA studios who are unable to create any meaningful experiences anymore, All their billions and worldwide studios are focused solely on pleasing the investors and upping the stock price while small studios here and there are breaking boundaries every year.

3:58 that chant sounds so GOOOOOD!!! Oh God I'm sure the soundtrack for this game is going to be INSANELY GOOD!

Visually one of the most cinematic looking games I've ever seen! Top notch color grading.

So excited for this one and having Heilung doing the music is so perfect

"Help me, Senua." Ok, what? Wtf is going on? Who's this giant, why does he know Senua, why does Senua know him and why is she shedding a tear? Can't wait to discover all that!

Melina is a masterpiece, she's just too good.

Was playing Senuas Sacrifice yesterday for the second time defeated Surtr and slept after watching the reveal trailer from 2019 Woke up to this 💪 Truly looks next gen 🔥

Melina, your performance blows my mind!!!!

This looks absolutely breathtaking! Can't wait to get my hands on this game. You've done an incredible job, congrats 👏

Incredible! Love your work, and I am beyond stoked to get to experience this when it's ready. Happy new year to everyone in and around the studio!

It's mind blowing how this is gameplay,, so cinematic and upping the 1st game in more ways than I had even conceived! This is gonna be an amazing experience and I am certain we all can't wait to sink our teeth into this!

I have never had a game move me and reshape my understanding of the world like Hellblade and I have never experienced a more moving character than Senua. I look forward to the sequel. I look forward to joining Senua on her journey. I look foward to sharing in her pain, in her tears, and in her triumphs. Senua, you are not alone. We are not alone.

I have been waiting for the second game to release since the announcement back in 2019. I attempted to play the first game in 2018 (I think) and I made sure to do it justice. Dark room, headphones on, a few dabs later, and I found myself sinking into the skin of a wet, forsaken land, unsure of my heading but ready to trust my protagonist's intuition, and then the voices started... The web of whispers clouded my judgement, and before I had even made it past the waist-high water, my heart was banging, my mind shrinking in. I tend to fall in love with intentional chaos, but I have never been so immersed in a medium where I forget why I love it. I was truly speechless, utterly captivated, and above all else terrified of what I was experiencing. It was unlike any game or really any story I have ever experienced, where my emotions didn't result from personal motivation, but rather a primal instinct to retreat at all costs. I will say I didn't really get a hang of the combat until I reached the bridge and so for the first two bosses and all their henchmen, I struggled a bit. Add on top of all that slashing, kicking, and screaming, all the thrusts of rage and dodging of regrets, all the violence and adrenaline, I also had the raw art direction, the stellar lighting (or lack thereof), the explosive soundtrack, and of course... the Voices. I fell from up high, in both passion and trust, and found myself looking in the mirror. It was during the combat I realized the brilliance of utilizing the disorder for gameplay mechanics. The intuitive nature of the sound direction and wonderfully performed voice acting took control of my own head voice, and I found it hard to concentrate when the stress overwhelmed me. When I finally ran to the tree and found my four new paths to choose, I was weighing the possibility I wasn't ready for where this story would take me... and that excited me. It had been so very long since a story truly overwhelmed me. And sure, I would bounce around from story to story, medium to medium, searching for greatness, which I found many times, but it all paled in comparison to this painful joy of a video game... A VIDEO GAME!!! I was already compelled to tell stories, but this truly gave me a direction, more on that later. I compared my options and decided it wouldn't matter and set off...into...darkness... It was like she knew better, or rather knew other, and perhaps more. I listened eagerly, yet couldn't stand the sound of her laughter. The following events led to a tired, exhausted, worn out Nathan removing his headphones, turning of the Xbox, and going to bed, or at least I tried to. Those VOICES stayed with me for months, creeping in as my voice of defeat, agreeing with my doubts, and all in all, being unpleasant house guests. They eventually went away, but I can easily recall to this day the sound of that women's voice in my head if I try. I don't know how long the game actually was because I avoided spoilers as much as I could and so if I had to guess, I think I made it half way. I never picked it back up because I didn't have it in me to try to give myself over to the experience again... and then I found out there was going to be a sequel. I was beyond floored. Like dude, I'm practically ceiling. And so, here we are, close to the end of my promise, to wait for the release of the sequel, to finally finish the first game. I am definitely ready, very scared, and extremely excited. I hope that you, Ninja Theory, stumble upon this post because I would love to thank you directly for how far you have inspired me to dream. I have dedicated my life to crafting my very own imperfect masterpiece, and it has given me both purpose and direction. For anyone else reading these words, thank you for being interested and keep striving to better yourself every day. I look forward to the day I can share my stories with you all. Her sword felt real and heavier than mine, And so I thought I'd help her shoulder the weight. How foolish was I to think anyone can help anyone but themselves.

I'm so glad yall took your time this is Finna be Crazy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

These are EASILY the best graphics I’ve ever seen in my life. BY FAR.

This blew my mind! Absolutely stunning. Hellblade was, and still is, the most gripping and emotionally moving game I have ever played, so I'm super excited to see where Senua's journey takes her now. The thing I love about Senua is that she seems so...human. Her strength isn't found in her bravery alone, but in the fact that she's clearly afraid...deeply afraid. She's scared, confused and driven...and she drives through those fears. She pushes through, despite them. That's what makes her such a strong female lead. Not wokeness, not a silly haircut, but her undying fortitude, to continue on...even though her hands are shaking and her knees are buckling! THIS, is how you create compelling characters. Thank you Ninja Theory. 🙌🏾

Jesus. You guys have really outdone yourselves. This beats my sky high expectations. The raw emotion and terror. The chaotic fear. And then the monster who is terrible, but then terribly, pityingly human. Wow. I cannot wait.

You guys made a game that has me emotionally attached, take as much time as you need for this masterpiece

It's everything i hoped it would be and more, can't wait to play it!

Can’t wait to experience this game. Looks great!

Been so excited to see more & you did not disappoint! Looking forwards to it :)

I have no words for this. This looks way beyond incredible! Beyond everything!

probably the most beautiful graphics i ever seen

unreal how far gaming has come. amazing!

The hint of the theme in the music at the end gave me chills!!

Amazing job! So realistic! Senua looks natural here. It looks like a historical reconstruction. Practically a cinematographic movie. Everything is so detailed! Thank you so much for the gift you are making for us! This is a real work of art! I'm looking forward to the release!

Really amazing trailer. Great storytelling and acting from Melina. Beautiful graphics. And on top Heilungs music. Please take all the time you need to make it a masterpiece.

Graphics and audio are absolutely insane. Almost hard to believe it’s real.

This video has been selected by the channel as one of the best Gaming videos on RU-vid and was added to the channel's playlist accordingly. Thanks for the making and sharing.

I still can't believe this contains actual gameplay. It surely looks stunning. Can't wait to see more of it!

Ninja Theory, you are one of my two favorite studios. I know this will be a great one. Really hope so.

Just watching this gives me goosebumps. Can't wait!

Freaking amazing, the transitions between taking control and the in game cinematics are ridiculously good. I just hope it doesn't do it as often as this section, curious to see how the combat has been handled

I so love first game, and very glad to see that work on the second part continues, amazing video!

This looks unbelievable. Can't wait for a Digital Foundry video. Remember this is on Gamepass too! 🤗

this game will make dolby atmos worth it

I can’t wait to play it, every time I watched the teaser of the second game I got goosebumps!:) I mean there is no game like this, it’s so unique, and I totally loved that Ninja did the video journal showing the creation process , I highly recommend watching it, it lets us players get the glimpse of the complicated but interesting production process! Go Ninja, we are patiently waiting for another masterpiece!

That looks amazing! I love Senua, she's such a great character.

Man I'm Hyped for this game!I was Totally addicted to the first game! And I can't wait for this one

Amazing. Best. Studio. Ever.

The Vocals as the title card come up right when she says “I know you” gives me chills because it’s a snip from Just like Sleep by Passarella Death Squad, the song that plays in the final battle of the first game.

These shots from 0:20 - 0:40 are brilliant! The atmosphere is the coolest, you just feel that you are in the Paleolithic, at the time of our ancient ancestors! It's so amazing, incomparable

She’s back folks!!!!

This trailer sends shivers down my spine, especially at the end! Yes the graphics look incredible and all, but I'm already more intrigued by the story.

Amazing job guys!! I cant wait for the release.

The way this game makes me so emotional. The crew should be really freaking proud of this masterpiece. It’s truly art.

Hellblade is in my top 5 games I have ever played. I hope that this console exclusivity war wasn’t real. Looks like imma have the PS5 and Xbox

This is a masterpiece already! Absolutely Absolutely stunning the most cinematic looking games I've ever seen!

Great job Ninja Theory. Such an amazing gameplay trailer. We can’t wait for the final game. Take your time.

The way the camera moves is remarkable. Direction is top notch here.

You're amazing guys. Thanks so much for bringing this incredible game for us.

Her voice acting is seriously so good, she throws everything she’s got into it it’s incredible👍

Looks absolutely incredible!

Лучшее, что есть в игровой индустрии (лично для меня). Больше чем игра - настоящее искусство. Очень верю и жду, что продолжение истории Сенуи окажется еще более эпическим и морально уничтожающим. Ninja Theory - you are the best!
