Xbox breaks Hellblade 2’s marketing silence with a 5-minute recap just days before launch

With just six days until its launch, a new promotional video for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 has been released, providing a breakdown of the story from the first game.

Recently, Ninja Theory’s lack of communication about one of the most anticipated Xbox Series X games had raised some concerns. However, the studio has now released a story recap video to ensure fans are up to date before the sequel’s release.

While there has been some marketing activity on Ninja Theory’s Twitter account since May 1, it has been limited to small updates. This new story recap is one of the biggest promotional drops since January’s Xbox Developer Direct, just days before the game’s launch.

In a recent podcast, Ninja Theory studio head Dom Matthews addressed concerns about the lack of communication, emphasizing his focus on completing the game and expressing confidence in its quality.

Despite the studio’s efforts, there is still some skepticism about the game’s reception among fans. The sequel is expected to be a significant improvement over the original, despite its shorter runtime of around eight hours.

Only time will tell whether the game will resonate with fans of the first installment or attract a wider audience within the Xbox player base.
