Ninja Theory shared an ominous message but it might just be nothing
The message is a thank you for the support message right before the release of their latest game.
Ninja Theory, the studio behind Senua's Saga games, has shared a thank you message through Twitter, and it really doesn't bring any bad news with it, as many were scared of when seeing the format of the message: plain text on a dark background and the game's logo. However, adding the phrase "I believe we have achieved our quest and I hope you'll agree" doesn't make it any less ominous.

Considering that Microsoft has been a bit Trigger Happy with its studios, like when they decided to close four studios regardless of the success of their games, some fans might have felt a bit scared when seeing the message and reading the mentioned fragment, wondering if this could be the last game from them, and we might hear about this studio getting shut down in a couple of days, but hopefully, it seems that won't be the case, or at least some say that, as Windows Central has reported that Ninja Theory's next game has already been Greenlit giving a bit of hope that the message wasn't hiding some sad feelings behind it.
At this point, one would encourage fans to get the game and support the studio with their current and future games, but the trust in Xbox to keep their studios has been damaged, and it might just be better to pray that Microsoft doesn't close it to focus expenses on Call of Duty.
In the end, the message could be just what it is: a thank you to all players who support Ninja Theory, and maybe, if it has any kind of secondary meaning, it could be that Hellblade or at least Senua's Saga might be ending with Hellblade II; whatever they do next will be a new IP, or perhaps the next Hellblade will change its focus, following somebody else's journey, but that's just speculation.
