Today we announced Senua, a new action-adventure game set in the Hellblade universe, with a trailer premiered at the Xbox Games Showcase.

With Senua, we’ve built on what players love about the Hellblade games – the personal story, the grounding in psychosis, the production values – and we’ve added what players have been asking for: action-adventure gameplay, combat depth, freedom and agency.

Taking place after the events of Hellblade I and Hellblade II, Senua is set in a fractured vision of purgatory, where a Celtic warrior (that’s Senua) must fight to reach the afterlife and reunite with those she has loved and lost. We’ll keep story details light for now, but you can expect to confront threats both within and without, master tactical combat to overcome nightmarish creatures, and explore a fantastical world shaped by myth and memory.

It was important for us in developing Senua that we make a game Hellblade fans will love, but for it to be a game for new players, too. If you’re a fan of story-led, premium action-adventure games with visceral combat, vivid worlds and fantastical enemies (including boss fights!), there’s a lot to be excited about in Senua.

To learn more about Senua you can explore this website where you’ll find an FAQ to answer any burning questions you might have. We also sat down with Xbox Wire for an in-depth interview covering everything from how combat works and what’s happening in the story, to the decision behind naming the game ‘Senua’.

We’re excited for you to join us on the road to launch, so please wishlist Senua now on your platform of choice, and follow us on social media for future updates.

Senua is coming in 2027 to PlayStation 5, Steam, XBOX Series X|S and supported gaming handhelds.
