Ninja Theory’s next project has reportedly already been approved by Microsoft.
Following the announcement that Microsoft is closing four Bethesda Softworks studios, including Arkane Austin and Rush to Hi-Fi creators Tango Gameworks – fan concerns began circulating online about the lack of marketing for the publisher’s latest title, Ninja Theory, The Saga of Senua: Hellblade 2.
Amid studio shutdowns and just two weeks before the game‘s release, fans have expressed concerns that the near radio silence around the sequel could potentially impact mainstream interest and sales of, Infernal Blade 2 and ultimately lead to the possible closure of Ninja Theory as cost cutting.
However, this theory was later dismissed by Xbox game marketer Aaron Greenberg, who told fans that “Our global paid media campaign started yesterday [May 8]” on social networks.
In fact, a recent report from Windows Central echoes a similar sentiment and suggests fans shouldn’t worry about the studio.
According to the report, “there are no plans at all to close the studio in the near future.” Additionally, “reliable sources” have claimed that Microsoft has officially given the green light to the developer’s next project alongside the Ninja Theory: Mara project.
The publication does not offer further details on the new project and Ninja Theory has not yet officially announced a new game in development.
The Saga of Senua: Hellblade 2 officially launched today (May 21) for Xbox series X|S, Xbox game Pass, and PC.
In TechRadar Gaming’s review, editor Rob Dwiar gave the narrative action-adventure game four stars and called it “a dark but deeply absorbing game – and one I’ve never played before”, but that he also suffers from “repetitive, limited combat”.
