Ninja Theory is defined by three things: ninja-class melee gameplay, strong character stories and a unique art vision.

On Hellblade, we will double down on what we do best to give you a deeper character in a twisted world with brutal, uncompromising, combat.

We are embracing the creative spirit that comes with independence without letting go of the stunning production values that we are known for. It’s not indie, it’s not AAA. This is a third way. its independent AAA.

It’s about making a more focused game experience that isn’t trying to be all things to all people but satisfies a particular gaming itch. It’s about being in command of our creativity so that we can give you what you want from us at a lower price.

It’s very early days in the project but we are opening our doors and inviting you to join us every step of the way. We want to show you how we make this game warts and all so that you can be part of this journey.

The game is dedicated to our fans and supporters.

The protagonist looks like an adult version of Kai from Heavenly Sword. Maybe it's her.

Game has its cliche issues but I'll say the best thing this game has to offer is sound design and pure audiogasm.

Game uses binaural recording for the sound effects and voices, so don't do yourself a huge disservice by not playing it with headphones.

Best way to enjoy this game's exceptional sound design (which btw actually ties into gameplay) is to get an external DAC that accepts optical in, connect it to the PS4 and let it pass through all audio to the external device. Amp that signal to your headphones.

I can count with 2 hands how many games that truly uses binaural recording. Damn glad Ninja Theory saw this wide open market and went with it even if the masses don't know what they are missing by playing with TV speakers.
