Descend into Hell As Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Hits Digital Storefronts
Today marks a milestone in the gaming industry, as one of the first true indie AAA video games has now hit stores. Developed and published by Ninja Theory, the supernatural Nordic adventure Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is now available on PS4, Steam, and GOG for a modest $29.99, a price significantly lower than most other AAA titles on the marketplace these days.
In order to keep the price down, Hellblade won’t be receiving a physical release for the time being. According to Games Industry.biz, it still needs to sell around 300,000 copies to break even, so don’t waste any time purchasing yours.
In addition the the launch trailer above, Ninja Theory also released a final development diary to detail the game’s final push before its release.
