As that release date approaches, details such as knowing what exact time you can start playing or how long it will last matter more.
In the latest Xbox Developer Direct, Dom Matthews, director of Ninja Theory, explained that they have combined “high fidelity and an impressive presentation with a shorter experience and around the story that centers what interests us and that we hope you will also be interested in.” The studio has explained that the game will have a similar length to the first chapter, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrificewhich means that the game will last between 7 and 9 hours.
Short games with relevant moments
A few weeks ago Matthews explained in an interview that Ninja Theory’s audience prefers short games in which every moment is relevant to titles that last dozens of hours. The study makes the duration of the game dependent on the plot that they want to develop and that in this case will lead Senua to viking lands to take revenge for the extermination of his people.
