Inspired by Ninja Theory's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, we proudly present "The Lost Ones". In anticipation of the release of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, we wanted to explore and speculate on the journey of Senua between the events of the first and second games. From leaving Hel, to where we might find Senua in the opening moments of Senua's Saga. Our crew had been fans of Hellblade since its release in 2017, and after expressing our excitement for the upcoming sequel, we decided to create a short film together as a love letter to the series. Starring: Allison Dayne as Senua Michelle Pokopac as the Morrigan Blair Phillips as the Fomorian and Katie Nixon as Galena.
