After its reveal following the unveiling of the Xbox Series X next-gen console at The Game Awards 2019, Ninja Theory?s Senua?s Saga: Hellblade II garnered a lot of excitement among fans. And following Microsoft?s acquisition of developer Ninja Theory?the studio behind the original Hellblade: Senua?s Sacrifice?many wondered if the sequel would be headed to other platforms besides Xbox and PC. Unfortunately for those planning on getting a PS5 next year, Hellblade II will not be making its way to PlayStation, at least not any time soon (if at all).
According to Xbox Game Marketing Rep Aaron Greenberg, Hellblade II is ?being made exclusively for Xbox and PC,? despite the original being available on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Considering Ninja Theory is a first-party Microsoft studio now, it would perhaps be more surprising for the game to be a multiplatform release. Although, certain exceptions have been made, like Minecraft, a franchise that is owned by Microsoft but still supported and purchasable on other platforms including PS4 and Nintendo Switch?though the game was already out on PlayStation prior to the Microsoft acquisition. (Editor?s Note: Sony?s first-party MLB The Show series will be going multiplatform and could set a precedent.) Ninja Theory is also gearing up to release Bleeding Edge exclusively for Xbox One and PC in March of 2020.
