Xbox's Early Senua Reveal Was an Attempt to Attract Potential Ninja Theory Investor

Xbox announced a follow-up to Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 specifically in an effort to attract a buyer for developer Ninja Theory. Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was released in 2024, six years after the studio was acquired by Xbox. The second game in the Hellblade franchise continued the story of protagonist Senua, and won multiple awards upon its release. While fans were kept waiting a long time between the first and second game, Ninja Theory appears to be moving much quicker on the third entry in the series.
