"This is where my story began, and so it has to end here, because I cannot see further than this." These are the final lines of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, delivered by Senua herself in a fourth-wall break that sees actress Melina Juergens turn her plaintive gaze to the camera. Developer Ninja Theory doesn't share the sentiment. For half a decade, the studio has been hard at work on the next chapter - appropriately named Senua's Saga - and I was invited to Ninja Theory HQ for a peek behind the curtain and a hands-on preview of Hellblade 2 in the final weeks of its development.
