'Hellblade' PS4, PC Release Date News: No Launch Date for PlayStation Yet, PC Version in the Works
Independent game developer Ninja Theory has revealed that they are also working on a PC version of the upcoming third-person action game "Hellblade." The announcement comes so many months after the PlayStation Gamescomm Press Conference when they announced that "Hellblade" was in development exclusively for the PS4.
According to a report in GameRant, Ninja Theory is an independent game developer who would like to start independent "AAA" gaming that means being able to create the game that you want the way to want it and publish it without "being beholden to publishers." "Hellblade" is the studio's first such attempt at independent "AAA" gaming.
"Hellblade" is also being likened to the other game that Ninja Theory created for PS3 called "Heavenly Sword." Both games feature a female protagonist and both games have them fighting off evil using a sword. The studio has however denied that there is a link between the two. The report further says that the game will bring: "ninja-class combat, strong character stories and a unique art vision."

In another report in Venture Capital Post, the studio's creative chief Tameem Antoniades revealed the reasons why they started looking at PC.
"I think PC offers us a level of freedom that we haven't had before," he said. They are also looking at a 4k resolution for the PC version as well as support for modifications.
The other thing that Ninja Theory would like to emphasize in their game development is the fact that they want fans and players to be able to contribute and add to the game.
"As an independent we have the freedom to do that. 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," he stated.
There is no definite release date for either the PS4 or the PC version.
