Among Avowed, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2, and others, Xbox's exclusive line-up for 2024 is looking fairly promising. One of the games I'm most thrilled about in this regard is Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, the sequel to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice from 2017 and a major proponent of next-gen gaming to look forward to this year.​

• Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
• Per our sources, the title will launch on May 21, 2024.
• Developer Ninja Theory is plotting to announce its release date during Xbox's Developer_Direct.

[Exclusive] Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Launches May 21

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 will launch on May 21 for Xbox Series X|S and PC, as sources close to eXputer revealed to us.

May 2023 Flashbacks

 

[Punished Miku]

If true, that means they have something else in mind for winter. Nice. Could just be Stalker 2 though.

Guess I have 4 months to beat part 1.

New Halo or the new Perfect Dark?

 

[DavidGzz]

It might be cheesy in this game but I hope it has a rogue lite mode. It's just like all of these years of development for a one and done game? Give me some replayability ala GoW and TLOU2, even if it has to come later. I mean, I guess I can't complain if it is such an affair since I'll be able to enjoy it on Game Pass PC.

 

[Punished Miku]

New Halo or the new Perfect Dark?

I guess it's not impossible. All we know about Perfect Dark is that Booty said that they are pushing to show it this year, so I'm assuming Perfect Dark gets a major trailer at E3 and then a 2025 release.

Could be Indy in Winter, or Avowed.

Hope it is good because first one is a mega crap. Boring, bad gameplay mechanics. Besides graphics nothing special on first one.

 

[Alan Wake]

Yeah, it didn't click with me either. I hope they've vastly improved the gameplay. This is big budget game so I'm pretty hopeful.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

before or after the last minute delay?

 

[LordCBH]

Wonder if anything actually good will release in May.

it was so fucking boring i had it in my work laptop and could t even play it while i was bored at some work convention

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Can not wait. Very excited for this.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Cool if true.

Hellblade summer

Avowed fall/winter

Forza Horizon 6 could be there holiday release.

 

[Punished Miku]

Forza Horizon 6 could be there holiday release.

I hope not. I've gotten enough cars and they can space these out more.

 

[Mr Hyde]

This year is crazy stacked so far for me.

Granblue Fantasy Relink
FF 7 Rebirth
Rise of the Ronin
Hellblade 2
Avowed
Indiana Jones
Eiyuden Chronicles
Stellar Blade

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

First half for PS5 is stacked

 

[Negotiator101]

I hope not. I've gotten enough cars and they can space these out more.

It's been 3 years.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Stalker release date, hellblade release date, probably a south of midnight stealth drop . . . need new narrative other than Xbox has no release dates . . . hmmm
Indiana Jones isn't a MS IP!!! /s

[adamsapple]

Give me my mentally unstable nordic girl.

 

[Darsxx82]

Forza Horizon 6 could be there holiday release.

It is the only possibility of an extra announcement for 2024 that I can think of. Even more so when everything indicates that Indiana Jones is also a 2024 release.
If this were the case, it would be an exceptional year in terms of Xbox releases.

But my mind is in an internal conflict in that I would like the best FH6 possible and with more new features (motorcycles?) and I wouldn't mind an extra year of waiting.

We will see.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Will certainly win the 2024 graphics award. That's what they've been striving for this whole time. They don't give a damn about the game being fun.

 

[Jigsaah]

Damn May? Pleasant surprise. What's with South of Midnight being able to be pre-installed now? Is it coming out with Dev Direct?

 

[SHA]

RIP, he was a good actor, one of the few actually.

Every Forza Horizon is announced a few months before release and Playground has two teams now. With Fable coming 2025 most likely I'm not sure they'd release 2 games in the same year?

The pre-install is the 300MB place holder file, doesn't really tell much.

Anything is possible but somehow I doubt it's gonna be released at the Direct. Wouldn't be much of a shadow-drop if it's a known thing with a known release window.

 

[Senua]

Me and my better half are pumped

 

[Negotiator101]

Fishburne isn't dead.

Ahhh, good point. Ok, I kinda think Xbox should hold off on a shadow drop this year. If they don't people are gonna expect drops each year from now til the end of time. I don't think they should put that pressure on themselves.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Cool if true.

Hellblade summer

Avowed fall/winter

What would be in Q1 though? They said 1 game per quarter.

 

[adamsapple]

Indiana Jones, believe!

(or probably Ara)

 

[Punished Miku]

hes alive

Oh god ... that's even worse. Is he suffering?

south of midnight stealth drop

Ara is a good bet.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I'd rather get Avowed first, but that's just the RPG fan in me.

 

[Imtjnotu]

RIP, he was a good actor, one of the few actually.

He's still alive tf?

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Nice!

 

[Topher]

Hate that the leaks have already begun. Would rather enjoy getting the news during the Xbox Direct.

 

[Darsxx82]

It is clear that the end of 2024 would make a lot of sense, and even more so considering that it is a game that will receive expansions during 2025.... But I would not rule out Q1 2025 either.
Also think that Fable and FH are developed completely independently... and that I would not rule out a Fable launch for Q1 2026...

We Will see
