Senua's Saga: Hellblade II 2024
Action-adventure, hack and slash
Hellblade II is a 2024 action-adventure video game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Xbox Game Studios. It marks the second entry in the Hellblade series, following Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice from 2017. Set in 9th century Iceland, the game draws on Norse mythology and cultural elements.
The game was made with a larger budget and team than its predecessor. Gameplay retains combo-based combat and puzzles, but has been updated with faster-paced fights and enhanced visuals built on Unreal Engine 5. The psychological horror focus remains central, continuing Senua's journey through psychosis.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II launched on Windows and Xbox Series X/S on May 21, 2024. A PlayStation 5 version released on August 12, 2025, including an "Enhanced" update with Performance Mode, new game modes, and expanded Photo Mode features. Critics responded positively to the art direction, visuals, and sound design, though some criticized pacing and combat depth.
