What’s new in the Enhanced Edition?
The Enhanced Edition of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 isn’t just a visual boost. According to Xbox Wire, you’ll get a brand new Performance Mode—meaning you can finally play at 60fps for that extra smoothness. On PC, there’s even a ‘Very High’ preset if you want to push your hardware to the limit.
Dark Rot Mode returns
For fans of the original, the infamous Dark Rot is back as an optional challenge. Fail too many times and the rot creeps up—if it reaches Senua’s head, it’s game over and all progress is wiped. High stakes, anyone?
Even more ways to enjoy Senua’s journey
Photographers and content creators, rejoice! The Enhanced Photo Mode now comes with expanded tools and a new ‘Motion’ tab for capturing cinematic video. Plus, for those who love a peek behind the curtain, there’s over four hours of developer commentary included, giving you deep insights into the creative process behind the game.
Pricing, editions, and upgrades
On PlayStation 5, Hellblade 2 drops in both Standard ($49.99) and Deluxe ($69.99) editions. The Standard edition gives you the base game with all enhanced features, while the Deluxe edition adds a PS5-enhanced version of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and the original game’s soundtrack.
And here’s a sweet deal: if you already own the PS4 version of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, you’ll get a free upgrade to the PS5 enhanced edition.
Xbox and PC players get love too
The Enhanced Edition update is a free upgrade for everyone on Xbox Series X, Xbox PC, and Steam. No one’s missing out!
