Ninja Theory announced that it will publish Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice on the Xbox One and enhanced for Xbox One X on April 11.

The game debuted last summer on the PC, and it was my favorite title of the year. Hellblade captures the journey of its main character, Senua, into a delusional nightmare. The Celtic warrior struggles with inner demons as she goes on a quest to save her beloved from the mythical Norse underworld. It is a terrifying game, thanks in no small part to the screams of Melina Juergens, who played the role of Senua and won an acting award for her first-ever acting role.
