It&#8217;s coming to Xbox Series X\/S, Xbox on PC, Steam and PS5 in 2027. Naturally, <em>Senua<\/em> will be on Game Pass.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This new game will seemingly have expanded combat, more puzzles to solve and some freedom to explore, though it still has a linear story. An action-heavy trailer shows Senua taking on a bunch of baddies and getting drenched in liquid gold. It looks quite pretty.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Senua | Official Announce Trailer | XBOX Games Showcase 2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/91LAY9B6lUc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As for simply calling it <em>Senua<\/em>, &#8220;that really reflects that this is something fresh and new and different. It is a different style of game,&#8221; Dom Matthews, Ninja Theory studio head, said. &#8220;I think <em>Hellblade I<\/em> and <em>Hellblade II<\/em> had an intention that we delivered on \u2014 but this is a different intention. I think of it as being additive \u2014 we&#8217;re taking all of that goodness and adding the types of things that people expect from a premium action-adventure game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Matthews says <em>Senua<\/em> has a map that&#8217;s about twice the size of the one in <em>Hellblade II<\/em>. It&#8217;s been in development since September 2024, just a few months after Ninja Theory shipped the previous game in the series. The story takes place after the events of the first two Hellblade games and it&#8217;s set in purgatory. I&#8217;m sure that won&#8217;t draw any comparisons to <em>God of War Laufey<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2189057\/senua-an-action-heavy-hellblade-sequel-arrives-in-2027\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ninja Theory&#8217;s upcoming game is coming to Xbox Series X\/S, PS5 and PC. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Ninja Theory During the Xbox Games Showcase, it was revealed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59039,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[24372,5230,24373,24371,2506],"class_list":["post-59037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-actionheavy","tag-arrives","tag-hellblade","tag-senua","tag-sequel","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/59039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
