The studio is currently hiring senior combat system designers, especially those skilled in Unreal Engine 5 and boss encounter mechanics, signaling active development on their next title. This could indicate enhancements for a potential Hellblade sequel or an entirely new IP.

These combat upgrades aim to deliver more dynamic, strategic encounters that respond to environmental factors. While the Hellblade series excelled in cinematic fight choreography, its battles often followed predictable patterns. The redesigned system promises deeper enemy interactions, ensuring no two fights play out alike. This direction might draw inspiration from titles like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, where environmental hazards, diverse weapon choices, and character abilities created highly variable combat scenarios.
