The creators of Hellblade, who are preparing their sequel, will publish Bleeding Edge on March 24 exclusively for Xbox One and PC.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II and Bleeding Edge are not the only video games that Ninja Theory has underway. By surprise, the British study led by Tameem Antoniades has revealed that he works on Project: Mara, a work that they define as an "experimental title" that will look for "new ways of telling stories", as reported on the Xbox website. The video game will focus on delving into what they have termed "mental terror."
They also explain that the study has investigated deeply, while promising that the content will be based on "real experiences." The goal "is to recreate the horrors of the mind in the most appropriate and realistic way possible." Ninja Theory goes further and claims that this title may become "a new means of telling stories" in itself.

Hellblade and Bleeding Edge, two very different games
The creators of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and DMC signed for Xbox Game Studios and are part of the Microsoft team network. The first title to crystallize will be Bleeding Edge, a more casual project that will allow us to take command with other friends. With its colorful touch, we will participate in frantic fights by teams four against four.
Darker is Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the second project that Ninja Theory has in development. It is a direct continuation of the previous installment, a video game in which we enter the tormented mind of Senua to live all kinds of paranormal experiences. Nordic ambience, fighting and puzzles are some of the characteristics of the production. To design it, the developers investigated mental illness, since Senua herself lives in her delirium, with voices that speak to her ears and tell her what she has or does not have to do, often going into contradictions.
Xbox Game Studios, meanwhile, was reinforced with new equipment such as Obsidian Entertainment, Double Fine or InXile Entertainment. The goal is to nurture the console and its content services for the future, marked by the arrival of Xbox Series X. Do not forget that all first party titles come from day one on Xbox Game Pass.
