Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
In eight weeks, the team at Ninja Theory brought to life one of the more stunning trailers unveiled at Gamescom. The team’s upcoming title, Hellblade is a long time off, but the studio will be engaging in open development along the way.
The trailer was shot in Unreal Engine 4 on a shortened deadline in order to make Sony’s Gamescom press conference. The budget was only a few hundred pounds, and the team used a member of the staff rather than an actress for the protagonist’s model.

In the short development timeline, the team experimented with a new, in-house motion capture technique. While that didn’t work for the trailer, Ninja Theory will be revisiting it as it progresses through Hellblade development.

Note: This story originally labeled Hellblade as a PlayStation 4 exclusive. The title is actually "first to console" on PS4 according to Ninja Theory. Game Informer apologizes for the error.
