A Third Hellblade Game Is Launching In 2027

With both the PlayStation State of Play and Summer Game Fest out of the way, it was Xbox's time to shine, and we usually get some decent reveals from these things. We knew that Xbox would deliver the semi-exclusive goods like Gears of War and Halo, but it had some surprises up its sleeve, such as the third game in the Hellblade series.

We're Getting A Third Hellblade Game

We got a decently action-packed trailer, which is nice given the second game in the series barely had any. We saw Senua fighting a bunch of enemies with a variety of weapons, and while there wasn't much about the game's story, we do see her coming up against large deity-like creatures.

Finally, at the end of the trailer, it was revealed that the third game in the Hellblade series is simply called Senua. It doesn't seem to be a proper reboot, despite the naming convention changes, and more of a third game in the series that follows on from the other two. It was also revealed that it will be coming in 2027, and it won't be exclusive either, releasing on Xbox, PC, and PS5.

As for the story, the game's trailer description explains that Senua is "trapped between life and death in a fractured vision of purgatory" and that she's fighting to reunite with those that she's lost. Sounds very Hellblade, so we'll have to wait and see exactly how this ties into thestory.

Of course, Senua wasn't the only big announcement during this year's Xbox Game Showcase, and boy were there a few. Not only did we get a release date for Persona 4 Revival, but we also finally got the official reveal of Persona 6, as well as the announcement that we're getting a new Spyro game next year. If you want a handy list of everything that was announced, you can find one here.
