Beginning next month, the world will finally see the gameplay of the anticipated action-packed hack and slash video game "Hellblade." The announcement came Wednesday via a tweet from game developer Ninja Theory, saying that the upcoming title's gameplay as well as other details will be revealed on June 10.
The news is also mentioned at the end of the independent game studio's latest entry in their developer diary series that chronicles the design process that they employ while creating the game. Ninja Theory also showed "Hellblade's" gameplay to selected game critics and journalists at the Electronic Entertainment Expo Judges Week, which was held between May 18 and 21.
The game is considered as an "independent AAA game," which means that it can match all the big-budgeted video games in the market despite being developed by an independent studio. And although the developer remains silent about the major details of the game, fan theories claim that the protagonist will have a resemblance with "Heavenly Sword's" Nariko, which is also developed by the same game studio.
But while the gameplay showcase has finally been given a schedule, the exact date for the game's official release has yet to be announced. It is safe to assume that it will not come out anytime soon since the Ninja Theory is very straightforward in saying that the game development remains at the very early stage.
The studio showed the first "Hellblade" trailer during the Gamescom event last year, and it features a Celtic myth-based game that centers on the personal journey of Senua, the game's main protagonist.
The voicework for the soon-to-be released gameplay trailer is reportedly provided by SIDE UK, the same studio who came up with the voices for "The Last Story" and "Xenoblade." Ninja Theory's Hugues Giboire, the art director of "Heavenly Sword, "is also the one who worked on the game.
