Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be released in a few days and Microsoft has shared some new screenshots for it. These screenshots show off some of the environments, as well as some of the characters. So, go ahead and take a look at them.
In Hellblade 2, Senua returns in a brutal journey of survival through the myth and torment of Viking Iceland. In the sequel, Senua will face a battle of overcoming the darkness within and without.
Players will be able to experience the world through Senua’s eyes and ears, as a Celtic warrior who experiences psychosis. Moreover, the game will have a brutal and visceral combat system, that seems similar to the one used in the first title.
From what we’ve seen so far, Hellblade 2 retains the same gameplay mechanics of the first game. So, if you loved the first Hellblade, you’ll also most likely enjoy this one.
Microsoft will release Hellblade 2 on May 21st. The game will be powered by Unreal Engine 5, and it will take advantage of both Nanite and Lumen. From the looks of it, this will be the game that showcases what UE5 can achieve. Or at least until some other triple-A games, like Marvel 1943, come out.
Finally, you can find here the game’s official PC system requirements. Hellblade 2 will support both NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3.0 at launch. And, since it will be using Lumen, you’ll need those upscalers in order to hit high framerates. After all, Lumen is basically a Ray Tracing solution (so you can’t expect to be running Ultra Lumen at Native 4K with over 60fps, even on an RTX 4090).
Enjoy the screenshots and stay tuned for more!
