Awesome news. Hellblade 2 is shaping up to be far more combat heavy and her experience there speaks for itself.

I suspect she will co-direct with Tameem then?

I assume Tameem is still the creative director.

actually now that I think about, I wouldn't be surprised if he helmed the Mara Project and Rahni is taking over Hellblade 2

Hope Rahni does well in her new post! Big step forward for her.

I wonder if it was just something that wasn't updated or whether there was a change in direction. Hope we hear something in Microsoft's next show about Hellblade 2 as that announcement trailer was spectacular.

Is a design director the same as a game director? I thought those were 2 different things.

Edit: NVM read it wrong! Loved the 1st game and looking forward to seeing more on the sequel.

I was expecting a new project from her but oh well, it seems Hellblade 2 will be more focused on combat so it makes sense. Really excited for this game

Combat director of DmC and lead for Bleeding Edge, hopefully means more varied combat in Senua's Saga.

Damn, Benoit Maçon & now Ranhi Tucker at Directing for Hellblade 2.

It's basically DMC directing team.

I'm so excited for Hellblade 2, I hope we see more at E3. Ninja Theory is probably the Xbox studio I'm looking forward the most.

It should be mentioned in addition to her roles on DmC and Bleeding Edge, that she was the creative director on DmC Definitive Edition.

I really liked the changes made to DmC in the Definitive Edition so this is an exciting news.

That's some really exciting news honestly. Hellblade 1 had some amazing combat but was held back by the camera lock on, and Rahni Tucker's past games (she did DmC DE and Bleeding Edge no?) all have some incredible feeling combat. Bleeding Edge may have been mediocre AF but damn was the combat fun and varied as hell.


I guess this pretty much confirms my speculation from the Senua actress's blog about the game and that there will be multiple different combat styles available for the player (shield and sword, two swords, just the one sword etc)


As long as the combat being enhanced doesn't negatively effect the game's atmosphere and story (which it won't) then I am super excited for this honestly

I really excepting Amazing Combat,Mechanics for this game.

+ it's interesting that Matt Booty describe this game "Large world" and said they use Houdini.
