At Microsoft's Developer Direct event on Thursday, developer Ninja Theory announced that "Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2" will be released on May 21.

Screenwriter Lara Derham said, "Senua is after a Viking who is enslaving her people. This leads her to Iceland, where she will fight "the giants who have plunged the land into chaos," resulting in the rise of the Draugr, who have swept over the settlements she will discover.

The presentation of "The Senua's Saga" heavily emphasized all the technology behind the sequel's "next level" presentation, including new motion capture studios and immersive binaural audio. They also went on several scouting trips to Iceland to make "The Senua's Saga" as authentic as possible, which they enjoyed immensely.

"Our desire is not just to make a great game to play, but to create an experience that makes you think and feel. Everything from the combat gameplay to the action scenes, from the cinematic scenes to the puzzle solving, is made for Senua's journey.
