TheXbox and Bethesda Games ShowcaseatE3 2021was already packed to the brim with announcements and reveals, so Microsoft spun out some content into an “extended” version of the showcase. Already, one of the biggest participants of the extended showcase has been Ninja Theory, which has made an appearance to share a behind-the-scenes look at the making ofSenua’s Saga: Hellblade II.

Many players lamented the fact that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II didn’t appear during the initial Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, but Ninja Theory wasn’t quite ready to share more about the game. However, they were happy to prepare an incredible behind-the-scenes trailer, which helps get players amped for this ambitious project. In the trailer, we learn that Melina Juergens, the actress behind Senua, has been training tirelessly for over two years to prepare for Hellblade II.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II doesn’t have a release date right now, and is likely still several years away. We do know that the game is heading toXbox Series X,Xbox Series S, PC, andXbox Game Pass.
