Ninja Theory’s Hellblade is Coming to PC as Well

We’ve learned (via PC Gamer) that Ninja Theory’s Hellblade is coming to PC, alongside its previously confirmed Playstation 4 release.

“I think PC offers us a level of freedom that we haven’t had before,” said Ninja Theory creative chief Tameem Antoniades.

“We’re looking at everything we do on this project and figuring out better ways of doing things compared to how the traditional AAA console model works. And consoles are following suit with PC, but I think they’re years behind what things like Steam are doing. If we want to do an open beta right now, it’s a little bit trickier to do that than on PC. Playtesting is a huge thing for us. Usability testing, getting people hands-on to try things out, get feedback, then roll that back in and improve the game… it’s always been essential for us to do that. Not every publisher has let us, because of the secrecy that goes into consoles and publisher-based businesses. As an independent we have the freedom to do that. “

Antoniades also talked up the graphics fidelity that Hellblade will have on PC, mentioning that Ninja Theory is looking into 4K resolution support, as well as modding:

“I think we want to get to the point where we can invite players and fans to add to the game, and do things that are unexpected, and suggest ideas or add-ons that can make the game richer.”

We’ll get a closer look at Hellblade on PC when the latest issue of PC gamer hits shelves on January 15th in Europe and on January 20th in the Americas.
