Ninja Theory's upcoming action game Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice will release for PS4 and PC on August 8.

The studio unveiled the release date in a new trailer for the game, which you can check out below.

According to product development manager Dominic Matthews, "Hellblade is half the size of a AAA game" and as such will be available at half the price. In order to keep costs low for the consumer and maximize the revenue the studio receives, the game will be available as a digital-only title for $30 / €30 / £25.

For more on Ninja Theory's upcoming action game, which is based on Celtic mythology and explores mental illness, see how the studio worked with Daisy Ridley's Star Wars stunt double to craft Hellblade's "more immediate and more grounded" combat.
