Bleeding Edge is an upcoming arena brawler from Ninja Theory, the developers of Hellblade and DmC: Devil May Cry. We got to go hands-on with the game, and speak to one of Bleeding Edge's directors to learn more about this intriguing title.
When Microsoft unveiled Bleeding Edge at E3 2019, it came as a bit of a surprise. Ninja Theory's previous game, Hellblade, won awards for its thoughtful writing, incredible character animation, and superior acting. It seemed only logical that Ninja Theory's next game would be in a similar vein, as a narrative single-player experience, particularly with Microsoft's backing. Instead, we're getting a multiplayer brawler, which takes cues from other team-based games like Overwatch and DOTA, while also standing proud in its own unique space.
There was a bit of a mild backlash to the news, from Ninja Theory fans hoping to see more Hellblade-like games emerge from the studio. I'd argue the backlash is unfounded, as Bleeding Edge seems like it could grow into something damn awesome.
