Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition launches with new ‘Very High’ setting on PC

Following on from the announcement several months ago, Ninja Theory's latest release has arrived. Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition is now officially available as a free update to all owners of the game. The Enhanced Edition also comes to Game Pass and, for the very first time, PlayStation 5 consoles. 

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. Speaking of PC, the Enhanced Edition upgrade also adds support for DLSS 4 and Nvidia already has new GeForce Game Ready drivers available.

Ninja Theory released a development deep-dive video covering the creation of this Enhanced Edition. If you were wondering how they could possibly make the game look any more graphically impressive, then it is well worth a watch:

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition is also available on PS5 starting today. The game lands on PlayStation for the very first time, acting as Ninja Theory's return to the platform. Originally, Hellblade was a PlayStation 4 exclusive, before coming to PC and Xbox later down the line. When Microsoft acquired Ninja Theory in 2018, it was assumed that all future games from them would be exclusive to Xbox consoles and PC. However, in the past year, Microsoft has made the decision to abandon exclusive games, instead opting to release its games across multiple consoles and PC.

Today also marks the release of the next-gen version of Hellblade 1 for PS5. Previously, this enhanced version of the first game was exclusive to Xbox and PC.

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.
