Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has been in Brazil for the CCXP 2023 convention this week, and as part of this, he appeared in a chat with the official Xbox team to discuss a whole bunch of topics - including which game he's most excited for.
Specifically, Spencer was questioned about the game he's "most eager to see people dive into", and he ended up picking Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. Here's Spencer's full response about why he chose Hellblade:
"So, I'll say Hellblade 2 because I just love Ninja Theory as a studio, [I] have for years. And all the work that they do - the craftmanship is fantastic - and I love how that game's coming together. And we don't have that much longer to wait."
It's interesting that Spencer says "we don't have that much longer to wait" for Hellblade 2, as Xbox's Matt Booty appeared to suggest recently that it'll be a late 2024 release. In any case, we should be playing Ninja Theory's sequel within the next twelve months, and the Xbox boss clearly seems pleased with the way development is coming along.
There's even been some speculation that the game could make an appearance at The Game Awards 2023, marking four years since it debuted at the 2019 event, but there's no proof of this so far. It'd be great if it happened though!
Do you think Hellblade 2 can live up to the hype? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

I think this game and Gears 6 will be the two best looking games on Xbox possibly all generation. Excited to see it soon.
@HonestHick
Just give me gears 6 😊
@OldGamer999 or even better, Gears of War 6 🤤
Either way would amazing for end of 2024 release
It would have five years then since gears 5.
They must have something near to ready.
I mean the coalition are a big studio and very experienced in the gears games now.
Just give us a date!
I know it's kind of been hinting to come out 2024. But man a shadow drop during the game awards would be earth shattering.
@OldGamer999 i am right there with you friend. Gears, Diablo and red Dead are my 3 games if i could only have 3 game franchises ever again to play. Those are the 3 i am taking with me. I log more hours into those 3 than anything else by miles and miles. Gears and Beers BRING IT ON XBOX!!! I’m READY!
Late 2024?
So, maybe Q1 2025 then 😉
Hellblade to me and many others I know found it as a big snoozefest. A glorified walking simulator with nothing good about it.
@CaptnTedo have to agree with you, don't get the hype
