For a chance of winning the exclusive console, contestants aged 18+ need only to follow the official Xbox page on Twitter and retweet the competition post with the tag “#HellbladeIIXboxSweepstakes” before the giveaway ends on June 17. Ninja Theory has also been active on Twitter lately, withstudio head Dom Matthews sharing a heartfelt message toHellblade 2’s fansand developers for their years of support and dedication.
This positive response from developers and gamers is reassuring for fans concerned about Ninja Theory’s future. After Xbox recently closed down four Bethesda-run studios, including Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, someHellbladefans were growing concerned that Ninja Theory might be in the firing line for further layoffs. However, following the success ofHellbalde 2, thestudio’s immediate future seems secure. Now that production onHellblade 2is over,Ninja Theory’s next project has reportedly already been greenlit. While this mystery title could well be the third installment of Senua’s journey, the studio has also confirmed it is working on “Project Mara,” a new experimental psychological horror game set to shape a new medium in storytelling.
