Microsoft showed off a little tidbit at the Xbox Games Showcase about a big 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.

Hellblade II is supposed to be coming in the holidays of 2020 for the next-gen Xbox Series X game console. But since we didn’t see any gameplay during the showcase event, I’m wondering if that will happen on time. Microsoft confirmed it has no timing on this game yet. Microsoft bought Ninja Theory in 2018.
