News: Ninja Theory has revealed when their next game will be arriving and it is sooner than you might think.

Ninja Theory has revealed that Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will be released on PS4 and PC on August 8. You can pre-order the digital-only game right now via the PlayStation Store, Steam or GOG.com for $29.99/€29.99/£24.99.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice comes from the makers of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and DmC: Devil May Cry. It is the story of Senua, a traumatised Celtic warrior journeying into the Viking underworld of hell. Supported by Wellcome and created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull players deep into Senua’s mind.

Those pre-ordering for PlayStation 4 will receive an exclusive Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Dynamic Theme that depicts the iconic burning tree scene from the game. Those pre-ordering on PC will receive an exclusive digital comic short, Hellblade: Senua’s Song. With words by Hellblade creative director Tameem Antoniades and art from multiple Eisner Award nominee Ben Templesmith, the comic comes from a creative collaboration between Ninja Theory and award-winning comic book publisher Valiant Entertainment.

“We’re happy to announce Hellblade’s release date after 3 years of open and independent development. Hellblade has been all about trying to rejuvenate the space between ‘indie’ and AAA, where games can be creatively rich but still boast AAA quality. At around half the length of a similar AAA game and half the price, we think Hellblade will give players a unique AAA quality experience at a fair price,” says Tameem Antoniades, Ninja Theory Co-founder and Chief Creative Ninja.

Check out the trailer that was released to accompany this announcement and tell us what you think. Will you be downloading Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice when it is released later this summer?
