Xbox boss Phil Spencer has hinted that Hellblade fans won't have to wait much longer for the next chapter of Senua's story.
In a recent interview, Spencer was asked which upcoming releases he's most excited about. Top of his list is Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. "I just love Ninja Theory and all the work that they do," he says. "Their craftsmanship is fantastic. I love how that game is coming together."
In addition to sharing his enthusiasm for Hellblade 2, Spencer teases that the wait for the highly anticipated sequel is almost over. "We don't have that much longer to wait," he says.

Hellblade 2 is already slated to launch sometime in 2024, and Spencer's comments suggest it could arrive in the early part of next year. Given the timing, we could see the game make an appearance at The Game Awards 2023, which takes place next week on December 7, with a new trailer that potentially reveals the release date.
Of course, all of this is just speculation for now, and we'll have to wait for an official announcement before we can know for sure exactly when we'll be joining Senua on another mind-bending journey.
Earlier this year, president of game content and studios at Xbox, Matt Booty, revealed that fans can expect a major release from one of Xbox's studios four times a year. "We've got a goal of a big game four times a year," he said. "So every three months, we've got something new coming out."
Alongside Hellblade 2, Xbox's offerings for 2024 include Obsidian's action RPG Avowed and Towerborne, a co-op action game from the team behind the brilliant Banner Saga trilogy.

Microsoft has reportedly been developing an Xbox mobile storefront that would allow users to bypass Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store and download games off its own application. Earlier this year, Microsoft's gaming chief Phil Spencer, too, had revealed ahead of the annual Game Developer Conference that the company intended to launch its own app store for both iOS and Android. Now, Xbox is reportedly in talks with partners for the same.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer hopes Starfield can be like Skyrim for people who love space and space exploration.
Back in August, Xbox head Phil Spencer claimed that there's no reason why Starfield can't become a game that fans play for the next decade, stating that he believes the spacefaring RPG will have a lifespan as long as Skyrim. Since then, we've seen the game launch, Bethesda itself argue that the game isn't boring, and Starfield become the lowest-rated Bethesda title on Steam in the studio's history. Despite all of that, Spencer's opinion hasn't changed.
Whether you've been playing it for 200 hours or decided it was boring after 200 minutes, Starfield is nonetheless one of the most important video game releases this year. Since it's Elder Scrolls developer Bethesda's first new IP in decades, the intergalactic role-playing game was born wearing giant shoes to fill and debuted to ecstatic, unquenchable fanfare.
Oh, Phil Spencer, what won’t you say next? We ask this because, true to his nature, he’s been making plenty of bold claims and statements about the future of Xbox, including going backward on things he said not too long ago. But his focus today is on Starfield, which came out a few months back after YEARS of development by Bethesda. While the title rocketed off to a hot start, pun intended, things cooled off quickly once people dove into the game and learned more about it. But at the CCXP show in Brazil, as noted by PCGamesN, Spencer was there to say that he felt the game could have the longevity of a certain other Bethesda title.
