"Unreal Engine brings photorealistic facial animation to life in Hellblade 2"

Ninja Theory has showcased the impressive facial animations in Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, using Unreal Engine 5 to render nuanced and subtle movements from performance capture artist Melissa Juergens. The studio has also used low-tech solutions, including a homemade contraption with a toilet plunger. The game will take place in Iceland, but no release date has been announced. Unreal Engine 5 has become popular for game development, with several high-profile games using the toolset.
