Ninja Theory hands down. One of the most creative game studios out there, these diaries show that, just like those about the first Hellblade. Can't wait for more!
If Senua made a 500m walk in the first game worth 6-7 hours of gameplay, imagine the length of the second game if Senua is travelling across the country of Iceland.
We probably didn't get one because pretty much any gameplay or cinematic in Hellblade 2 would require motion capture, and motion capture isn't something that can be done when you're working from home
I got to say, when I first heard NT was doing a sequel, I was apprehensive. The game ended on such a emotional high and it just seemed perfect the way it finished. How on Earth could such an experience be followed up on let alone exceeded? After watching this, I can say I do have considerably more hope. It seems their passion has not wavered. There's a dedication to gaming as an art. A rare thing these days. Rare but not gone thankfully. Looking forward to seeing further progress in the development of this game.
@Allen Wilson I totally agree but the thing is they haven't really announced a release date for the game and for all we know it could be as late as 2022. So if it is that late then there is no point in releasing a gameplay clip right now. I say let them take their time on the game so it'll be worth every penny. Senua's sacrifice was an amazing game for me and for a lot of other people so the expectations for the sequel is very high, rushing the game would be a really bad idea.
@@fibergran9 I bought the first one blind. I never buy games blind. So I literally knew nothing about it. Then it told me that it depicts psychosis and I needed headphones. So, it's midnight (because that's when it finished downloading) and I went out in one in the morning to get headphones because I didn't have ones that were good enough for gaming. As for psychosis, I knew nothing about psychosis. So yeah, it was a wild trip at two in the morning, playing this game... Nothing like what I thought it would be...
I really love seeing all the compassion Ninja Theory puts into making a game, you rarely see that anymore these days as the industry is basically about making as much money as possible
First game is in my top 5 games. Incredible experience being able to experience other people’s experiences throughout this story. Your team is the reason why I love video games, those hidden gems that truly captivate you.
I was chained to the monitor by music, landscapes, colors, the mysterious atmosphere of Iceland, and I look forward to continuing..the diary of the creation of the first part of the game I am happy to review as a separate film
What i like about ninja theory is how they let you feel the 'feels', the experience lol idk hahha. But hellblade 1 was the first game that gave me a emotional trip maybe its the headset gimmick or the powerful acting or the atmosphere of the game itself... idk man such a great game. Also the 'Spin-off' of DMC is the only DMC game that i finish and liked seriously and i played DMC 3 and 4 but i never finish it but it was a okay game.
I'm so excited for this. Senua's Sacrifice was such an experience and now you're going to take us to Iceland. Absolutely beautiful country, I want to go so bad.
I am SO excited for this game!! Hearing and feeling the passion, love, and care that's going into this project makes me even more ready to play! Adored the first game and can't wait to see what NT treats us with this time!
Fantastic! The love and dedication of the team are what made the first game so wonderful. Cannot wait to see Senua and her world expanded. Also, I'm glad she's going to Iceland, such a gorgeous and magic country!
This is my most anticipated title. Having worked as a a Counsellor with the long term unemployed for many years, I feel I was finally able to empathise with some of their struggles. Aside from the emotional journey, the gameplay is second to none. The combat is smooth, fluid, challenging and satisfying. From the sound to the assets and lighting Hellblade was nothing short of perfect. I'm am now 41 year's old. My first computer was a Spectrum 48k, so I have literally played thousands of games. None of them connected with me the way Hellblade did. Hellblade 2: HELL YE!!!
I wasn't a part of the first diary's journey of yours. But this one I'm gonna follow until the end. Hellblade is one of my favorite games and I'm so happy you making a sequel.
I couldn’t believe how great the first game turned out and I bought it with no actual expectations. Hellblade 2 will probably be mind-blowing and it’s the main reason I’m buying the Series X.
@White-Van Helsing Most people have access to low powered Google Chrome boxes, not PCs that would run a game like this anywhere near the quality an XSX would.
Combine all Ninja Theory diaries about Hellblade and you get a "How to make a video game 101". Proper dedication to the art of game creation! I love this in the first installment and I already know I'll love it in the sequel.
I hope that you keep in mind that in the time of the first Viking settlements Iceland was much grassier and had way more forested area. Cant wait to see the beauty of the land properly recreated in your game. Good luck with your work!
Considering how we are playing from senua's POV, and she is...well...psychotic, I think that the way she sees the world will be a mixture of historical location fact and some of the myths that we believe today. So, some forest areas and grasslands, as well as hellscapish barren lands, without any shrubbery or green in sight. Just the cold, muted blues and greys of a broken mind. And that would be pretty awesome imo.
Thank You guys for what you're doing! This is more than just a game! Continue to turn games into an art form. It's beautiful. With such a sensitive attitude, You open a new era of game creation. I hope Your team doesn't lose the spirit of skill. I wish you prosperity and creative success. I'm looking forward to continuing the game! Greetings from gamers from Russia!
They created Hellblade on a budget. For Hellblade 2 they have the wealth of Microsoft behind them. Look at what the team did with their own (small amount of money - using go pros and Ikea wardrobe poles as stands!). Now they have the budget of MS behind them! I think Hellblade 2 is going to be epic! And so does MS because they released the trailer for Hellblade 2 on the day as the XBox Series X reveal. That alone shows how much MS and XBox value Ninja Theory and how much they're prepared to spend to promote and support them. The creative minds at Ninja Theory... With money behind them?.. The sky's the limit!
Came here because I was disappointed there was no trailer/gameplay during Xbox showcase and I am walking away intrigued and excited to see how the team implements location and sounds, from Iceland, into Senua's Saga. I love the binaural audio in Senua's Sacrifice!
This is a major teaser for all the Hellblade fans. The man said, Senua travels hundred of miles across Iceland and reproduces it, recreate it. So what the heck this game is going to be? Maybe sound, music and this terrain transformation could be ways to solve puzzles in the game? So she travels thru the Iceland, have combat and solves puzzles with these elements? Major hype!
This journey will be a great and wonderful one! Thanks for taking us along on the ride, and Iceland looks absolutely stunning! I'm getting more and more stoked about Hellblade 2 now
Im so happy you all can get the funding you need to make the games you want to make :) even if bleeding edge is dead, knowing project mara and an actual sequel to hellblade with all the support you have now is so awesome as a fan.
great to hear from you guys again! I really like Tameem aproach to directing - it kinda feels, like nothing can go wrong here. so, I'm waiting patiently
Just wanted to take a moment to tell you how inspiring these videos are. (Talking about this one and the Hellblade dev diaries.) Watching other people talking about their work and inspirations is ... really motivating and makes me wanna try out new creative stuff. (The audio recording on location reminded me of myself taking sound effects literally everywhere.) Thank you so much, Ninjas! I'm super excited for Hellblade 2!
everyone was expecting a gameplay trailer but only at the end of last year did they announce they were early in development. they also did a similar thing with the dev diaries for the last game and showcased the gameplay in them when they were ready so i’m sure we should expect a similar thing!
Dear Ninja Theory Team! I want to express an exciting with your amazing work. You certainly make this world better. And with Insight project your studio is almost social enterprise - the kind it should be, I believe. So thank you for all!
The amount of effort and dedication these guys have to their games is so awesome and beautiful. Playing Hellblade was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I can’t wait for the sequel, as well as other amazing projects from Ninja Theory!! Literally didn’t think I could get more hyped; this video proved that wrong!! 😆
Would of been nice if we got a gameplay today.. but this made it up. Still super excited to get this game and play it, this is the only reason I'm getting the new xbox to play this game. I even bought the game on my switch. So if anyone is reading this and still havent played it I really highly recommend it. I played it a handful already and still enjoy it like it was my first time.
@@verlorenerjunge5921 Unfortunately no, I tried everything including Shazam and SoundHound. No luck, it's either music made In-house exclusively for this feature or it's just one of those songs that I will find in 10 years lol. But if I do find it, I will come back here, and let ya know.
Damn you Ninja Theory. Damn you all the way to Valhalla! You guys tear at my heart strings so strongly! You only begin to know what your team means to me, and others like me. You too Melina, you She Devil Minx! You made me cry. To everyone at Ninja Theory - You are all amazing! You're incredible! I will follow you on your journey for the rest of my life.
The only game I was truly willing to see on the Xbox conference was Hellblade II, I expected at least a small glimpse of the gameplay and I was extremely disappointed when there wasn't any. Now I take it back knowing how much soul and time you've put into the first game and how amazing it turned out. I believe the wait is worth it and hope to see more news soon
Yea, this would have been a perfect quick hit in there. I think the problem is that it doesn't show any game footage at all. And yet, this would have been a great palate cleanser that presented something new.
Tameem, in a calm documentary voice: also Melina came along
Melina: screams into a cave
RSS.
Ninja Theory hands down. One of the most creative game studios out there, these diaries show that, just like those about the first Hellblade. Can't wait for more!
i hope, Bleeding Edge was so bad, why they did this trash ?
@@MilaNista9999 because thrash like this sells well. because a lot of morons like thrash
@@MilaNista9999 it's not bad. It's just not for you
I'm not into games like Bleeding Edge (MOBA's). Doesn't mean I think it's bad
@@76marex nobody buy it, all players taht played it, was because it was in gamepass and that they had it loll
@White-Van Helsing they studio has grown a lot they're pass that 1 man show thing its a team effort n the game wasn't trash just not for everyone
everyone's excitement level for Hellblade 2 : 1:20
2:51
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol yes
@@dylan1867 lol yes to you too lol!
A new version of the icelandic "Uhh" :)
Honestly can't wait, this is the game im most excited for this year
Tbh I think the game will come out 2021, if it is 2020 it’s probably gonna be rushed.
it´s not coming this year.
its like 4 years away dude.
@@simonrockstream 2022 i think
2022
Tameem: calm voice nice to listen at
Melina: ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARGHH!
What a beautiful way to connect the real world to such a surreal story.
If Senua made a 500m walk in the first game worth 6-7 hours of gameplay, imagine the length of the second game if Senua is travelling across the country of Iceland.
“Based on Iceland”
I just hope, there's less overly cryptic puzzles, more battles, and sight seeing.
@@X3MAntics And more enemy variety, and hack and slash gameplay that is actually good this time. My two biggest problems with the first game.
@@dreamerabe Gameplay was great imo
500m? I feel it was way more, a few km maybe
Even though I'm a bit sad, we didn't get a new Trailer for the game today, this still makes me super exited for it! :)
We probably didn't get one because pretty much any gameplay or cinematic in Hellblade 2 would require motion capture, and motion capture isn't something that can be done when you're working from home
There Will be another xbox event
I got to say, when I first heard NT was doing a sequel, I was apprehensive. The game ended on such a emotional high and it just seemed perfect the way it finished. How on Earth could such an experience be followed up on let alone exceeded? After watching this, I can say I do have considerably more hope. It seems their passion has not wavered. There's a dedication to gaming as an art. A rare thing these days. Rare but not gone thankfully. Looking forward to seeing further progress in the development of this game.
1:20 she's senua in real life too
P. S: i was expecting a gameplay trailer at the event but oh well, I can wait...
I don't, actually. I don't want to see anything until I play it, just like I did with the first one 🥰
@Allen Wilson I totally agree but the thing is they haven't really announced a release date for the game and for all we know it could be as late as 2022.

Killer Mario yeah I am totally agree with you, the first one was just amazing
@@fibergran9 I bought the first one blind. I never buy games blind. So I literally knew nothing about it. Then it told me that it depicts psychosis and I needed headphones.

XD
Also, Heilung is actually collaborating for the audio of the game!?!
I'm so hyped!!
Gorgeous, just gorgeous and what a humble team. Can't wait for Hellblade 2
i want to konw what name of soundtrack in video
First game is in my top 5 games. Incredible experience being able to experience other people’s experiences throughout this story. Your team is the reason why I love video games, those hidden gems that truly captivate you.
Loved the original Hellblade dev diaries. Excited for more to come.
Only thing that got me excited from the Xbox event. The fact this gonna take place in Iceland is soooooo dope. Always wanted to go there.
I was chained to the monitor by music, landscapes, colors, the mysterious atmosphere of Iceland, and I look forward to continuing..the diary of the creation of the first part of the game I am happy to review as a separate film
The first game was a masterpiece and was one of the best experiences I've ever had in a game, I can't wait for the sequel 🙌

This is the most anticipated game in my life. I cannot wait to see what you guys are going to deliver with this.
First of all, Tameem Antoniades you sir have a very beautiful calm voice
When Senua will meet Sam Porter, give him a thump up.
Would be great to see a easter egg.
I wonder if there'll be a Hellblade reference in AC: Valhalla
Hopefully no BTs to worry about on this walk..
I already know there’s going to be a labyrinth chase just by those rock formations towards the end of the video
The building behind that thing that you were jumping on was my school😂
Im gonna buy the game just because its in my country😍
I'm so excited for this. Senua's Sacrifice was such an experience and now you're going to take us to Iceland. Absolutely beautiful country, I want to go so bad.
I am SO excited for this game!! Hearing and feeling the passion, love, and care that's going into this project makes me even more ready to play! Adored the first game and can't wait to see what NT treats us with this time!
So awesome. We appreciate all the hard work the team does during these times and for microsoft.
This video absolutely should've been in the Showcase! This looks insanely promising!
This type of dedication can only lead to perfection. My excitement knows no bounds now.
1:13 what was that? I hope its not garbage.
Came to comment the same, it looks like water maybe
Probably just dumping some water.
Clearly just some water.
Just confirming, this was water being thrown.
Came here to confirm
Fantastic! The love and dedication of the team are what made the first game so wonderful. Cannot wait to see Senua and her world expanded. Also, I'm glad she's going to Iceland, such a gorgeous and magic country!
Can't wait for this. Already played the first game 4+times lol.
me 2. Two Days after release i already finished it two times.
I played it 3 times
Yeah I played it twice in a row haha and about to play it again soon :)
I've been a huge fan of this studio since heavily sword! I'm so for hellblade 2 and the other projects! Welcome to team Xbox!
I love how your team make a project with passion and soul.
Melina is gonna kill it again! I can feel it!

I think people are more excited about this game than they are about Halo.
Pretty sure y'all are looking at literally exact spots Kojima did for Death Stranding. I recognize a few of those rocks.
So they can just ask them for the assets.
That plus the game is using unreal engine 5 so it’s gonna look a lot better than Death Standing
commitment to their craft....take your time guys and make it amazing.
The scenery in this video reminds me of Interstellar and Death Stranding. 😍
Looks really promising! Hope the sequel will be as good as the first part! Best of luck to you!

The first game was a masterpiece I can see this game being on a whole other level😍
Just finished Senua's sacrifice. What a great game! Started it after theXbox july event and seeing this diary. I'm so exited for the upcoming game!

Why was this video so relaxing?
was hoping for a new gameplay trailer :(
Hellblade 2s main challenge wont be technical issues. Inspiration needs time.
Probably couldn't do it since pretty much everything Senua does is motion captured, and you can't really motion capture when you're working from home
Please take your time making this one, please am actually on my knees begging. I don't mind the wait just don't rush it
And this is one of the reasons why Hellblade is the most amazing game ever made.
This game is what is really pushing me towards getting an Xbox over PS5
I'm in shock , Love Diaries For Hellblade , never rush this , make it as beautiful and memorable as possible .
What is the BEAUTIFUL music playing in the background!?!?!?!?
you found it?

Truly remarkable scenery I am looking forward to hopefully a remarkable experience playing the sequel.
I didn't think I could be more excited, but now I am
In your sword still beats a heart.
What really suprise me is the fact the game will use the Quixel technology
Why They didnt show this in the xboxshowcase? At list this would impress a Lot of people.
They should have showed this instead of Tetris.
@@SB3_01 That Tetris is made by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, an absolute legend in the games industry.
Yea, this would have been a perfect quick hit in there. I think the problem is that it doesn't show any game footage at all. And yet, this would have been a great palate cleanser that presented something new.
so when we're playing this game, we actually are there because most of the nature sound are from there..mindblown!
Even though I've spent almost 100 hours in Death Stranding, I'm absolutely ready to marvel at Icelandic landscapes again in this game.
Hellblade II is going to be AMAZING
Take my money now!!
I cant wait for this game. I loved the. first one it completely blindsided me in a good way
Name of the soundtrack of this video?
I can not wait …. By far one of the best game series made.
Thanks so much for sharing the creative journey with us... Can't wait to see what's is still to come 😁
The thought put into this game is what sets it above the rest excellent job 🖤 total game changer
I see Hellblade
Me: Oh yes !
I see and hear Heilung will be doing some soundtracks
Me: OH HEL YES !!!!!
