With less than a day until Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 releases, Ninja Theory studio head Dom Matthews has issued a heartfelt statement to fans.
Posted on the official Ninja Theory X account, Matthews shared a touching message to fans, expressing gratitude for their support, along with the development team for working on Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.
"From the very beginning of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, we have had you in mind," Matthews wrote. "And I truly hope that when you play the 2nd chapter of Senua's story, you will find that familiar connection once again, and so many more people will find their way to Senua and her world too."

Matthews' message points out how many fans have reached out to Ninja Theory to express how important Senua means to them and how much their faith has inspired Ninja Theory to continue her story. Ninja Theory's first chapter in the series, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, was released in 2017, and both fans and critics praised it for its visuals, story, and depiction of psychosis, which many have said was the most remarkable thing about the original Hellblade.
"Its incredibly smart use of audio and visual distortion and trickery to convey the frightening effects of psychosis, hallucinations, and delusion, are married with the gameplay elements for an experience that rarely ever grapples over whether it's a game or a story," we wrote in our review of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
During the 2019 Game Awards, Ninja Theory announced that it was working on Hellblade 2. Some fans were disappointed with a few revelations ahead of its release, such as Hellblade 2 not receiving a physical release and the console version being locked at 30 frames per second (FPS).
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is out tomorrow on PC and Xbox. For more information, check out IGN's Hellblade 2 preview and our piece on how Ninja Theory has leveraged technology, such as Epic Games' MetaHuman animator technology, to take immersion to the next level.
