Hellblade developer Ninja Theory announced Project Mara in 2020, but it may not be going forward–and that might not be a very surprising thing. The game was described as an “experimental title that explores new ways of storytelling.” Now, reporter Jez Corden has said the game was “only ever a concept” and was not guaranteed to be seen through to release anyway.
He added: “It could be developed into a game some day, or evolve into something else.”
In 2020, Ninja Theory said Project Mara would be a “real-world and grounded representation of mental terror.” The description continued: “Based on real lived experience accounts and in-depth research, our aim is to recreate the horrors of the mind as accurately and realistically as possible.”
