Senua’s
Saga:
Hellblade
2
is
upon
us.
It’s
a
moment
that
has
been
overshadowed
by
the
recent
closure
of
multiple
Xbox
studios
though,
resulting
in
a
lot
of
people,
myself
very
much
included,
worrying
that
Ninja
Theory
could
be
facing
a
similar
fate.
Which
is
why
I’m
very
happy
that
Samuel
Tolbert
of
Windows
Central
is
reporting
that
Ninja
Theory’s
next
game
has
already
gotten
the
greenlight
from
Microsoft.
His
article
is
in
response
to
a
tweet
that
Ninja
Theory’s
head
Dom
Matthews
sent
out
which
thanked
fans
for
supporting
the
studio.
While
the
tweet
was
clearly
a
heartfelt
message,
some
people
worried
that
it
was
a
goodybe
message
from
the
team.
“Making
video
games
is
difficult.
Much
like
Senua,
we
as
a
team
have
been
guided
by
a
conviction
to
achieve
our
quest:
To
make
a
game
that
sinks
you
deep
into
Senua’s
world
and
to
take
you
on
a
journey
that
leaves
you
thinking
and
feeling.
I
believe
we
have
achieved
our
quest
and
I
hope
you’ll
agree.
I’m
very
proud
of
the
game,
very
proud
of
our
team
and
very
proud
of
you,
our
fans,
who
have
supported
us
on
this
magical
journey.”

According
to
Jez
Corden,
Ninja
Theory
is
a
bright
future
ahead
of
them.
In
his
article,
he
writes
that
“we
can
confirm
via
our
trusted
sources
that,
in
addition
to Project
Mara,
Ninja
Theory’s
next
game
has
already
been
greenlit.
There
are
no
plans
whatsoever
to
close
the
studio
any
time
soon.”
So,
what
could
the
new
game
that’s
already
been
greenlit
be?
Well,
the
obvious
answer
would
be
Hellblade
3,
assuming
of
course
that
Hellblade
2
doesn’t
offer
up
a
definitive
end
to
Senua’s
story
when
it
launches.
According
to
one
person
with
potential
insights
into
Xbox,
it
is
indeed
Hellblade
3.
That’s
what
Gaz,
co-founder
of
gameondaily.com,
believes.
Speaking
on
X,
he
said
that:
“Hellblade
3
has
already
been
green
lit.
Xbox
gave
Ninja
Theory
assurances
already
apparently
after
the
Tango
fiasco.
Let’s
see
if
they
keep
their
word
mind.
But
I’m
not
worried.”
It
goes
without
saying
that
this
should
be
taken
with
a
pinch
of
salt.
Gaz
doesn’t
have
much
of
a
reputation
as
a
leaker
of
information,
and
is
viewed
as
something
of
a
console
warrior
who
favours
Xbox.
However,
he
is
also
quite
critical
of
Xbox
as
a
whole
and
does
seem
to
potentially
have
some
sources
within
the
company.
I
wouldn’t
put
much
stock
in
his
claims
personally,
but
thought
his
claim
was
worth
including.
