Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a singleplayer third-person adventure game developed by Ninja Theory. Senua's Sacrifice is the first title of the Hellblade franchise and the first game to be self-published by Ninja Theory.
The game was released in August 2017 and was considered a commerical and critical success, although several reviews did make general mentions that the gameplay at times felt uneven compared against the rich narrative elements that compose the majority of the experience. In November 2018, High Dynamic Range (HDR) graphics support was added in a patch.[1]
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is no longer updated and did not receive any content additions after the game's release. The game continues to receive regular positive reception from player reviews. In December 2019, Ninja Theory announced the second title of the Hellblade franchise, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.[2]
