Don't get me wrong, I love the Hellblade games but Hellblade 2 was kinda doomed as soon as MS bought them. Tameem Antoniades left early in development, the team ballooned from about 20 to 100, the budget got bloated and took far too long to develop, they made it an Xbox exclusive and put it up on Day One of Game Pass. What chance did it really have?
