In reality, Hellblade has been one of the most exciting Microsoft Xbox exclusive games. The players have been intrigued by the psychological action-adventure game, which brings together a captivating storyline and depicts a perfect blend of mental illness, trauma, and determination.

“I understand Hellblade II is another game that Microsoft has been considering for the PS5. If that ever happens, at this point, it’s not clear if even that would be considered a success.”

Instead, it will focus on delivering them to a broader audience of gamers through multiple platforms. Upcoming games like Senua Saga: Hellblade 2 may actually be the first beneficiaries of this new strategy that will surely shake the gaming industry.
