Digital actuality hadn’t fairly peaked when the VR model of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice was first launched in 2018, however there was nonetheless hope {that a} Hellblade 2 VR port may occur. After talking with Ninja Principle about Hellblade 2, the developer has confirmed to that no such port is within the works.
A few of the finest VR video games begin life as a conventional PC sport earlier than being ported to digital actuality. Provided that immersion is vital to the sequence’ gameplay, we had been a part of the hopeful crowd who thought Hellblade 2 VR may be on the playing cards
We not too long ago visited Ninja Principle HQ in Cambridge to go hands-on with the sport and chat with the workforce. Throughout our interview with studio head Dom Matthews, we broached the topic of a possible VR port, asking if one was in growth, to which Matthews replied with an unambiguous “no.”
Whereas it’s common for builders to outsource VR ports to third-party studios, Matthews’ response makes us assume that no such port is incoming, both externally or internally. It’s additionally price noting that the unique sport’s VR port was dealt with by Ninja Principle itself.
We nonetheless hope that if Hellblade 2 performs nicely, and the demand is there, a VR port shall be thought-about down the road. Whereas VR gaming is at present seeing the advantages of the Meta Quest 3‘s launch and new sport help from huge studios, VR ports should still be a threat not price taking amid ongoing and extreme trade volatility.
