We already knew that Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced was on its way to PS5, and now we have a release date: August 12.
Ninja Theory's game will be available in two editions: a $49.99 standard edition, which includes the base Hellblade 2 alongside the upgrades and new features available in the Enhanced update, and a $69.99 deluxe edition, which also includes Hellblade 1 upgraded for PlayStation 5, as well as the Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Original Soundtrack, making it the perfect entry point for Senua’s journey.
Those who already own the PlayStation 4 version of Hellblade 1 can upgrade to the PS5 version for free.
Don't forget that the Enhanced release and all the associated extras coming to PS5 players will also arrive as a free update on PC and Xbox Series X and S, too, including performance mode, dark rot mode — which adds an "additional challenge" — an enhanced photo mode, and developer commentary for those interested in the "craft and creative decisions" behind Senua's Saga. Here are more details on each new feature and upgrade:Performance Mode – The original release was optimized for 30fps to deliver an immersive, cinematic experience, but the Enhanced update introduces a ‘Performance Mode’ designed for 60fps. On PC, players can choose a “Very High” preset to maximize visual fidelity based on their hardware.
Dark Rot Mode – The Dark Rot from Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice returns, offering an added challenge in this optional mode. The Dark Rot intensifies with each failure, and if it reaches Senua’s head, her journey ends and all progress is lost.
Enhanced Photo Mode – The Enhanced update expands the photo mode with an improved toolset, including a new ‘Motion’ tab for crafting cinematic video clips.
Developer Commentary – For those curious about the artistry and creative choices behind Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, the Enhanced update features over four hours of commentary from the developers involved in the game’s creation.
We thought Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was Great, slapping it with a well-earned 8/10, writing: "Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is another Viking-worthy feast for the senses that meets the high bar set by its predecessor, even if it never really manages to clear it."
