Rough news to be sure. I think ninja theory deserves another shot. Let senua release and see what happens.

They really took way too long to release hellblade 2. 8 years and apart from the visual quality, seemed to be a side step or even a backwards step in some regards and sold poorly as a result. All the while project Mara was in development, using resources for a very long time with no result.

I don't think they should shut them down yet but we'll... I can see why.

Turn 10 talk is a massive surprise... I thought Forza motorsport did very well.

A shame about Ninja Theory. Unfortunately they leaned too much into the cinematics and presentation and not enough into gameplay with Hellblade 2. The premise of the original Senua was to produce something that feels AAA but has a AA budget, it feels almost like MS getting behind them messed that balance up and they over indulged.

Senua seems to be leaning back into the gameplay but I didn't get excited from watching the trailer, it still feels quite narrow and uninviting. With the game due out next year though, I feel like they have a good shot of getting investor support. Maybe add a Switch 2 version to further that likeliness
