Ninja Theory has a pretty incredible commitment to realism, and Hellblade 2’s development footage shows how this commitment extends to bird droppings. From the trailers we’ve seen so far, it’s clear that Hellblade 2 will be a truly next-gen experience, with pinpoint bird poop adding to the level of immersion. Despite being a standalone game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice was highly praised for its impressive graphics and presentation.
The title allows players to explore a unique fantasy world inspired by Norse and Celtic myths, and its environments and characters are rendered in truly impressive detail. A post-launch update to Senua’s Sacrifice on PC took the graphics even further with ray-traced lighting. The sequel promises to offer an even more impressive world, and the Hellblade 2 development images seem to confirm it.

The video shows a cliff teeming with birds, which would realistically be covered in the droppings of the feathered creatures. Apparently, making use of reference material, Ninja Theory is capable of achieving a high level of realism spreading white bird poop all over the mist. This process seems to go much faster thanks to the development tools, and these Hellblade 2 development screenshots are a taste of what lies ahead.
