- According to Ninja Theory’s new financial report, it is pleased with Hellblade 2.
- The company recorded an increase in overall profits and workforce.
- The studio is already working on its next game, titled Project Mara, which Microsoft greenlit.
Hellblade 2 was released last year to decent reviews from the audience. While most people appreciated the cinematic feel of it, the game didn’t introduce anything new in terms of combat or gameplay. It even hit a player count of just 5K on Steam.
However, despite the smaller number of players and reports suggesting poor sales, Ninja Theory’s latest financial report reveals that the company’s profits increased in the latest fiscal year, implying that Hellblade 2 was a success.
Why it matters: Expectations from Hellblade 2 were through the roof, considering the first one came out of nowhere and became an instant hit. While the sequel was decent enough, it didn’t do anything to stand out.
According to Ninja Theory’s latest financial report, the company is pleased with Hellblade 2, as it was praised by both critics and the audience, and won multiple awards. The company’s gross profit and operating profit also saw an increase.
Ninja Theory also increased its workforce slightly from 106 to 108 people, and is also one of the few studios that has yet to see any layoffs. Its next game, titled ‘Project Mara’, has already been greenlit by Microsoft.
Unfortunately, the report doesn’t have anything on it. However, Hellblade 2 is expected to bring in more revenue soon, considering there are reports that Microsoft is planning to launch the game on PS5 soon.
