Ninja Theory’s indie action game Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice has a new trailer ahead of its release in August. More atmospheric than it is a gameplay demo, the Hela trailer shows protagonist Senua trapped in a nightmare. 

Facing off against a giant man-monster in a rainstorm, Senua gathers her strength and goes in for a hit. She’s accompanied by disembodied voices, which may in fact be Senua herself, describing her actions and thoughts.

​

Hellblade is inspired by Celtic and Norse mythology, and gained attention when the devlopers demonstrated ‘real time cinematography‘. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is out on August 8 for PS4 and PC.
