Microsoft’s recent streak in the gaming industry has not been the most impressive, which is why fans are eager to see what the company has in store for the upcoming June Xbox Games Showcase.
Many are hoping for the long-awaited release of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and the likelihood of the game making an appearance in a month’s time seems to be increasing.
Hints from Developers and Microsoft Executives
The anticipation for Hellblade 2’s release date has been building without any explicit clues from the developers or Microsoft executives.
The game was initially revealed in December 2019, but since then, only a few dev diaries and a controversial gameplay footage have been released, which some skeptics argue looks too good to be true.
It’s time for Ninja Theory to put an end to the speculation and showcase the game for what it really is – whether it silences the doubters or sparks laughter from the online community.
Aaron Greenberg’s Twitter Activity Raises Questions
Xbox Games Vice President of Marketing Aaron Greenberg has recently changed his Twitter profile picture to an intriguing graphic.
The image combines the Xbox logo, known from the promotional materials for the June Xbox Games Showcase, with a tree motif featuring hanging men.
This imagery is strongly reminiscent of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, sparking interest and speculation among fans.
Greenberg, however, insists in a comment that the image is “just fanart not related to any particular game.” The picture’s creator also chimed in, stating they have no knowledge of Microsoft’s plans.
While it could be just a coincidence, it’s interesting that Greenberg, who knows what will be featured during the event, would choose an image that fans would scrutinize. Regardless, the time has come for Ninja Theory and Microsoft to reveal Hellblade 2 to the world.

The upcoming event, scheduled for June 11, is crucial for the Xbox brand and could help alleviate fans’ concerns regarding Redfall and the numerous delays of other titles.
However, to regain players’ trust, Microsoft must deliver more than just successful premieres – they need a plethora of great games, and Hellblade 2 has the potential to be one of them.
