This morning we woke up with news about Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. However, not all of it has been as positive as we would like. In addition to the details that we have been able to know about the game, a few hours ago the news of the day broke: the resignation of Tameem Antoniades. This has been confirmed by Polygon sources, who after traveling to Cambridge to test the new Ninja Theory game, an Xbox source confirmed that the director was no longer part of the studio.
We have to go back to the year 2000 for the last time when the developer was not part of the studio. In that year, Antoniades founded Ninja Theory with Nina Kristensen and Mike Ball, although the initial name of the studio was Just Add Monsters. It was not until 2004, after his parent company went bankrupt, when the studio was refounded as Ninja Theoryand until relatively recently Antoniades was still part of it.
The reasons for the resignation of Tameem Antoniades have not been revealed
The trajectory of Ninja Theory is not understood without the hand of Antoniades behind it. The developer has directed the studio's four best-known games: Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, DmC: Devil May Cry and Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. In addition, it is assumed that he has also participated in the development of Hellblade 2, although the latest information indicates that this only occurred in its first conceptual phases.

The latter has been learned precisely from the hand of Polygon, which, as we mentioned previously, visited the Ninja Theory studios to see more closely how the development of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was going, just over a month before it arrives. the stores. It was then when, beyond learning more details about the game, the media managed to speak with an Xbox representative, who was asked about Antoinade's strange absence in the officesand who confirmed that he was no longer part of Ninja Theory.
For now, the causes of this departure of the studio's co-founder have not been revealed, but it seems that it was something that had been brewing for quite some timee, since the same representative assured that Antoinades stopped participating in Hellblade 2 in its early stages of development. We will have to continue waiting to know the causes that caused this departure.
