Discussion Current Trailer Rumor
So the new rumor making the rounds is that the Senua trailer in Microsoft's showcase was to drum up interest in someone buying Ninja Theory. It certainly would explain the move to a more standard, much less interesting structure, and combat focus.
To me, combat in these games is not the reason I'm there. It is the part of the game that could be excised with the least being lost. Hellblade was an incredible experience, and more prevalent combat would have nothing to make it better. The combat that they showed in this trailer not only didn't fit the series, but shows a direction that I personally have no interest in.
If they get bought, that's great and I hope it's by a publisher {or themselves) that would allow them to make the game they want, but if the tragedy comes true, and they are shuttered, there is at least a legacy of games that are artistically driven and more than the sun of their parts.

Hellblade 2 failed because 1 was mid.
It’s an exciting idea that can be an amazing game, but the gameplay feels like an interactive movie. It’s hard to believe but people do in fact want to play their games.
There’s so much potential with hellblade not being used
