Report: Ninja Theory Shifts to New Hellblade as Project: Mara Deemed a Concept

The unconfirmed pivot reflects a push for more interactivity after a lukewarm 2024 follow-up.

Overview

  • Windows Central editor Jez Corden said on the Xbox Two podcast that Ninja Theory is now working on a new entry in the Hellblade universe.
  • Corden added that Project: Mara was only a concept and is not an active game in development at the studio.
  • The proposed sequel is expected to be more interactive and designed to broaden its appeal compared with the first two Hellblade titles.
  • No official announcement has been made, and there is no confirmed name, scope, or release timing for the reported project.
  • Coverage notes that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 underperformed in 2024, and Ninja Theory’s long development cycles suggest any follow-up could be a distant release.
