You can see a teaser for the feature here:

From the makers of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and DmC: Devil May Cry, comes a warrior’s brutal journey into myth and madness. Set in the Viking age, a broken Celtic warrior embarks on a haunting vision quest into Viking Hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover. Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull you deep into Senua’s mind.

The teaser is a welcome addition for those who are interested in the authenticity behind the game’s development, as it pertains to psychosis and neurological disorders, which are topics very rarely touched on in gaming.
