Microsoft showed off new details at The Game Awards about its new game: Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. It’s set in Iceland, and it will be based on real-world scenes the Ninja Theory development team collected there.

The scene took place in dark caverns, full of black volcanic rock and steam. Senua, who suffers from psychosis, hears voices in her head as she moves and encounters a very strange-looking giant demon that is half human and half rock. Senua throws a spear and oil at the being, then transitions into a nightmare world where the giant creature pursues her.
