This month saw the release of a major exclusive for Xbox from one of its most critically acclaimed studios, but you’d be forgiven if you had no idea. Originally announced five years ago, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 has slipped under the radar most of the years since, outside of the occasional trailer. This has been true even up to the game’s release, resulting in a disturbingly quiet launch for Hellblade 2, made all the worse in the wake of multiple Xbox studios being shut down. If Xbox wants to succeed, it needs to start giving its games a bigger platform.
