Gamescom: A Gory Introduction to Hellblade
Steve Barton

A warrior woman sits in a circle of runes, locked in mediation. Her sword’s tip is planted in the ground. She grips the blade and watches the crimson flow down its broad edge. It appears to be a blood offering.
But then we see whom it’s for. A corpse is slung in the air, its back skin splayed open and pulled tight. This was the world’s introduction to Hellblade during Sony’s press conference at Gamescom… a gore-filled “How do you do?” if you will.
Little is known about Hellblade so far, but it is made by Ninja Theory, the studio that created Heavenly Sword. There is already speculation that it is its spiritual successor. The title of game, Hellblade, does bare a striking similarity to the Heavenly Sword‘s word title.
No word was given on a release date, but Hellblade will be making its debut on the PS4 console.
