Hellblade 2 will be digital-only, cost $50, and will last as long as its predecessor, which took players about eight hours to complete.
In a recent interview with IGN, Ninja Theory studio head Dom Matthews said the studio’s fans enjoy shorter, more focused game experiences.
“I think there’s a lot of pressure on people’s time these days and I think our fans, from what we hear from them, they enjoy a shorter game where our intention is that every step of that journey is meaningful… There’s an audience of people that want games that are focused,” he said.
