Ninja Theory is yet to reveal all that much about the Hellblade 2 story. He noted that development of the first game was completed by fewer than 20 people, and that Ninja Theory has drastically scaled up its production efforts for the sequel – as a result, we should expect the Hellblade 2 combat to have more depth, and for enemies to be more varied. In an interview with Vandal, combat designer Juan Fernández explained that Ninja Theory was 'raising the bar' with respect to Hellblade 2 combat. While Ninja Theory was once known for creating fast-paced action games – like Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and DmC: Devil May Cry – Senua's Sacrifice was more subdued, with a greater focus on considered storytelling and inner-turmoil.

From what we have seen of it so far, the Hellblade 2 gameplay is set to offer more of the same. Senua's Sacrifice: Hellblade was a third-person action-adventure game – it was tightly designed, with Ninja Theory focusing on just a handful of mechanics that were executed well.
