Ninja Theory has been quietly working on improvements for Hellblade 2 since the game's launch a year ago. Now, Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition is launching and better yet, it will be a free upgrade for owners of the original game.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition includes several updates. For the first time, console players will be able to switch to a 60FPS performance mode. On the PC side, we're getting a new ‘Very High' tier of graphics settings to push fidelity even further. It is unclear exactly what this new preset will change or add to the game, but Hellblade 2 was already one of the most visually impressive games on the market. Ninja Theory hasn't just focused on pushing the high-end though, a new preset is also arriving for Steam Deck, which will allow the game to become Steam Deck Verified for the first time.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition will also be available on PS5, marking the first time that the game has been sold on a non-Xbox console. Ultimately, those picking up the game for the first time on PS5 will get a much better day-one experience thanks to the addition of 60FPS gameplay. The next-gen enhanced version of Hellblade 1 is also coming to PS5 for the first time, right alongside Hellblade 2. Those who already own the PS4 version of Hellblade 1 will get the PS5 upgrade for free.

Aside from performance and visual improvements, the Enhanced Edition of Hellblade 2 also features a new difficulty level that brings back the Dark Rot mechanic from the original game. In this mode, each time the player fails, rot will spread further across Senua's body, if it reaches her head, its Game Over.

Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition launches on August 12th.
