SenuaΓÇÖs Saga: Hellblade 2 is coming to PS5 this summer, though we don't
have a concrete release date just yet. Ninja Theory says it will be optimized
for both the standard-issue PS5 and the beefier PS5 Pro.

The company also says it launches alongside a free update that'll be
available for all platforms, including PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. We don't
know much about this update, but the developer promises "new features."
There's a trailer that discusses the update, but is also devoid of any real
details.

This is something of a homecoming for the franchise, as Hellblade: SenuaΓÇÖs
Sacrifice was originally released for PS4 back in 2017. Ninja Theory says
it's "excited to bring Senua back to where her journey began and for
PlayStation players to be able to experience the next chapter in her brutal
saga of survival."

For the uninitiated, SenuaΓÇÖs Saga: Hellblade 2 is a brutal and gorgeous
game that first hit the Xbox and PC in 2024. It's a third-person adventure
set in Iceland during the 10th century. We called it an outstanding
"interactive brutality visualizer" in our original review, going on to say it
features "an extended, extremely anxious and violent vibe." Good times!

The combat is decent, though not groundbreaking, and the puzzles are just
average. The sheer violence, however, is epic. The protagonist Senua screams
with each swing of the sword and every fight is close combat. This is for
those who revel in simulated physical violence. We'll let you know when we
have an actual summer release date for this gem.
