Ninja Theory's Hellblade has received its first gameplay trailer. The game will be released in 2016 for the PlayStation 4 and Windows PC.
Hellblade is being developed by 15 people in what Ninja Theory is calling 'Independent AAA' development. The team has been given full creative freedom and plans to deliver an AAA quality game.
Ninja Theory product development 'ninja', Dominic Matthews, said the following:
"Hellblade launches next year on PS4 and tells the story of Celtic Warrior Senua and her journey into Hell. The Hell in question is no ordinary Hell, but is in fact a Hell that is the manifestation of Senua’s mental illness. Senua experiences psychosis, including hallucinations and delusions, as well as suffering from anxiety and depression. As a player you will witness Senua’s living nightmare through her own eyes.
From George Orwell’s 1984, to George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, the best fantasy breaks down barriers and lets us see the world without prejudice. This is what we want to do with Hellblade. To see the world through Senua’s eyes, and in doing so, address a subject that is still considered taboo.
Developing Hellblade independently gives us the freedom to tackle a subject as challenging as mental health. It is a subject that we are handling with all the respect it deserves, ensuring that our portrayal of Senua’s condition is both accurate and sensitive."
