Ninja Theory’s Bleeding Edge Alpha Testing Coming Soon

Hardcore Gamer: Ninja Theory’s acquisition by Microsoft — among many other developers and studios similarly announced at the same time, and some later revealed at future events — was certainly a head-turner last year. And following the release of the England-based studio’s acclaimed 2017 title, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, curiosity was once more in Ninja Theory’s favor as many have been keen to see what the studio would come up with to help bolster Xbox’s first-party offerings.

Took a great studio and made a Fortnite meets Overwatch clone?

PhantomS422198d ago

Fortnite meets Overwatch meets Borderlands but only melee combat? It's a pass for me honestly.

NecrumOddBoy2198d ago

Like that Battleborn game. :/
Waste of a studio

Kribwalker2198d ago

did you not hear them on stage? They said they were working on it for years before MS bought them and because of MS they were able to finish it

cartoonx12198d ago

why are people disagreeing? thats what the guy said at the stage.

Jin_Sakai2198d ago (Edited 2198d ago )

“did you not hear them on stage? They said they were working on it for years before MS bought them and because of MS they were able to finish it”

Which is probably why Microsoft bought them in the first place. Who needs great single player games when you can have more online vs crap.

This game is a disappointment coming from Hellblade.

Kribwalker2197d ago

@jin

you do know they have a larger team that’s working on a single player game and their smaller team is the one that made this game

“I’ll say it again, Bleeding Edge is a small arena style game from a smaller team at Ninja Theory. This is not from the Hellblade team, their next game is years out.”

I'm a bit disappointed for this Overwatch/Battleborn looking game. I just wish they would make part 2 of Enslaved.

Kribwalker2197d ago

they have a bigger second team making a game.

AK912197d ago

Sorry skipping this one, it’s just not for me.

neomahi2197d ago

Not impressed. Overwatch clone and typical Xbox game, reliant on pressing Xbox Live which means they're not even trying to combat Sony.

Ninja Theory Drops Bleeding Edge Development to Focus on Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II & More

Today Ninja Theory announced that content updates for its multiplayer combat game Bleeding Edge will cease.

Tech51599d ago

the game could have thrived with another studio partnering to add more characters and levels.
there are still old games still receiving partnerships like FH4 and Smash bros adding more to their multiplayer content. anyways can't wait to see more of Hellblade 2 game now that it's being at the center of focus.

BLizardXD1599d ago

game still has some very good animations. Hellblade 2 though is going to be sick running on UE5.

Genkins1599d ago

"Ninja Theory Drops Bleeding Edge"

PlayStation gamers - "good"

SpeedDemon1599d ago

I'm not a PS gamer and think it's a good move, there's no use in beating a dead horse.

Shiken1599d ago

TBH, Hellblade 2 is a much more important title to the XBox library.

Rachel_Alucard1599d ago (Edited 1598d ago )

You should be glad because now they can focus on something that isn't a steaming pile of shite. But no instead you'd rather have one group live in your head rent free for every single thing.

Christopher1598d ago

I think most PS fans will agree that this is nothing to do with Ninja Theory and they want them to make Hellblade 2. It is good to see them make a new game rather than hitch themselves longer to an IP that they really aren't getting the support they should get from Microsoft to advertise it and grow it with new content.

CobraKai1598d ago

Xbox gamers - “good”

SmokinAces1598d ago

You know what they say about assumptions. Just becasue a person thinks its better they focus resources on whats sure to be a better game then on a game that has reviewed very poorly and has very little interest from the gaming community doesn't make them a "Playstation gamer". Its 2021, time to grow up and stop with the fanboy nonsense.

Kilua1598d ago

Ok. Ninja Theory must double down on bleeding edge development. Im sure that will make everyone happy

Not really, if this was suppose to show NT's competence as well as MS's "free hand" towards devs.

If, as many defend, this was an original project that suffered no micro-controlling influence.

Yah bleeding edge was not very good unfortunately

gamer78041598d ago (Edited 1598d ago )

That’s cool @343_guilty_spark just wasn’t my type of game, couldn’t get into the character designs or the melee

Kurt Russell1598d ago

I liked the cha design and the melee... the ropey server connection was what killed it for me. I think I smashed it for about 3 days, then dropped it.

Killer73nova1599d ago

Bleeding edge was fun for about 30 min but after that it’s just repetitive. They said it was just a game they’ve been working on for fun. But I’m glad they are putting everything into senua and I’m excited to hear about the “more”

I_am_Batman1598d ago

I'm kinda shocked that they've supported it for this long to be honest. I'm glad they are focused on more promising games now.

Hellcat20201599d ago

Too bad
The game just didn't deliver anything good or new
It was another game I didn't have to purchase due to Gamepass

I didn't expect much from Bleeding Edge but was still disappointed. It's like they were actively trying to make a terrible game.
