Ninja Theory, who brought us games like the Devil May Cry reboot and Heavenly Sword, know their stuff when it comes to fast-paced, combo-centric action games, so there's good reason to be excited by the prospect of Hellblade - their new, PS4-exclusive IP.

Hellblade is still in its early stages, but the gameplay will revolve around close-up ninja-sword encounters based on timing and reflexes.
