In an intriguing new video focusing on the development of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Ninja Theory introduces the process and technology behind the game’s real-time cinematography.
The technology was developed in collaboration with Epic Games, Cubic Motion and 3Lateral, and went on to become the winner of the Siggraph 2016 award for Best Real-Time Graphics and Interactivity.
In the video above, you can see how a “complex scene” from Hellblade was shot, captured and “edited to final quality in minutes” using the virtual human technology. Ninja Theory adds that this process normally takes weeks or months.
Announced in 2014, Hellblade still doesn’t have a release date but the developer has said that it’ll be out this year for the PlayStation 4 and PC. With gamescom 2016 coming up, there’s a possibility of an announcement so we’ll let our readers know if we hear anything.
