The wait is almost over for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 fans on PS5! The developers have finally confirmed the release date as August 12, 2025. This is huge because not only do PS5 players get a fresh new experience, but Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Steam users will also receive a free “Enhanced” update on the same day.
I gotta say, this news kinda caught me off guard, but in the best way possible. The “Enhanced” tag was teased earlier, but now we know exactly what it means. If you played the original Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice on PS4, you’re in luck, upgrading to the PS5 version will cost you absolutely nothing. Free upgrades? Yes, please!
The standard edition of Hellblade 2 is priced at $49.99, while the deluxe edition costs $69.99. Pre-orders are already live, so you can lock in your copy now if you’re eager. The game will run in a new performance mode on PS5, targeting a smooth 60 FPS. PC players get a fresh “Very High” preset that pushes the visuals further, and Steam Deck owners will be happy to hear the game is officially Steam Deck Verified at launch.
One feature that stands out is the Enhanced Photo Mode. It’s got a whole new toolset and a “Motion” tab, letting you capture cinematic videos with custom options. Plus, there’s over four hours of Developer Commentary! That’s not just any commentary, it includes insight from the cast, the team behind depicting Senua’s psychosis, and the dev crew. For anyone who loves behind-the-scenes stories, this is gonna be a treat.
