In case you didn’t play the original, Hellblade was a dark action-adventure game about Senua, a kick-ass Pict warrior dealing with mental health issues that she interprets as a curse placed on her. Hellblade 2 was revealed at The Game Awards 2019, with a dark, hard-hitting reveal trailer that didn’t give much away in terms of story or gameplay, but did reveal the key detail that the game is coming to next-generation Xbox and PC – it’s the release date we’re now curious about. That means you can expect to see it on Xbox One, too. The game is coming to both Xbox Series X and PC, Microsoft has confirmed, and it’ll be among the first to support the Xbox’s Smart Delivery technology that gives you access to the best version of the game on whichever system you’re playing on. Nevertheless, it looks like the cloud will play a part in Sony's PlayStation future in one form or another.Ninja Theory announced Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, the follow-up to 2017’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, back in late 2019. It’s just not entirely clear what that service might look like. While the PS5 is not going to lose any popularity contests, a unique hook on cloud gaming would be exactly what it needs to better compete. As mentioned earlier, it could even use Microsoft's Azure cloud.Īs such, taking a different approach that, say, mixes in cloud elements with traditional console gaming could be one way for Sony to forge its own cloud gaming path. Microsoft can deliver game streaming thanks to its vast cloud infrastructure, whereas Sony would likely need to ride off the back of another company's systems. But then setting up or procuring the infrastructure to deliver solid cloud-powered gaming can be a major task, as well as a costly one. So if Sony were to mimic Game Pass but mix in the stellar PlayStation exclusives it had over the console generations, it could chase the subscription service's success. But it's worth noting that Game Pass is highly successful and is pretty much a must-have service for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Something other than a straight Game Pass clone would help Sony and the PS5 continue to stand apart from Microsoft's gaming division. But it sounds like Sony is also weighing up different ideas on what could be done.

Sony could perceivably go off and create a game streaming service similar to Google Stadia and other platforms that play games on cloud servers.
