Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 returns to show itself in a short video that illustrates the making of a sequence also seen in the gameplay demo shown at The Game Awards 2021, or that of the giant that stands out against Senua, discovering the secrets of its construction.
In practice, it is in any case a character built through motion capture, it seems: an actor was used to simulate the movements and expressions of the giant and the data was then modified in the polygonal construction phase and rendering so as to change the aspect ratio.
In this way, as reported by the Ninja Theory, a “big, but believable” character emerges, being in fact a human being scanned in 3D and made gigantic. The full video of the sequence can be found within the gameplay video shown at The Game Awards 2021, which showed Ninja Theory’s great mastery in using Unreal Engine 5.

Unfortunately, even in this case no further information or new materials emerge on Hellblade 2, which could however return to show itself on the occasion of the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase on June 12, 2022, Microsoft’s summer presentation which should contain a good amount of information and ads.
