Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced is coming to PS5 on August 12, developer Ninja Theory has confirmed. The enhanced version of the game, which comes with added features, will also be released as a free update to players who own the game on PC or Xbox Series S/X. The updated version includes additions to graphics and gameplay, alongside an enhanced photo mode and developer commentary.
Ninja Theory confirmed that Hellblade 2 will also become Steam Deck verified on August 12. The studio also announced that the enhanced version of the game will finally feature a ‘Performance' mode allowing 60fps gameplay on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Hellblade 2 was locked to 30fps on Xbox consoles at launch. The Performance mode, however, is not available on Xbox Series S. The game also gets a new ‘Very High' graphical preset on PC.
There's additions to the gameplay, too, with Dark Rot from the first game returning. In this optional game mode, the Dark Rot grows each time players fail as Senua, eventually ending the main quest and resetting all progress, thus providing an additional challenge to players.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced also features an improved photo mode with more tools and over four hours of developer commentary that shed insight into the making of the game.
The game will launch on PS5, PC, Xbox Series S/X and Game Pass on August 12. It will be available in Standard and Deluxe editions on PlayStation Store, priced at $49.99 and $69.99, respectively (Rs. 4,399 and 4,499 in India). The Deluxe Edition includes the PS5 optimised version of the first game, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, in addition to the enhanced version of Hellblade 2. The game is now available to pre-order on the PlayStation Store.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced was announced in May, joining a growing list of first-party Xbox games coming to PlayStation this year. The game was originally released on PC and Xbox Series S/X on May 21, 2024.
