Compelling Gameplay

Like its predecessor, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will be an immersive narrative-led experience. There will be puzzles to solve, terrifying enemies to defeat, and a brutal combat system that will really make you feel like a warrior – even when you’re sitting behind a screen. 

A Story Continued

If the ending of the first Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice left you with more questions than answers, you’ll be happy to hear that the sequel picks up shortly where the first game left off. Discover the impact of Senua’s sacrifice and follow along the emotional journey as her story continues. It’s a new quest, with new adversaries, and it’s as cinematic as it’s fun to play.  

A New World To Explore

After her journey to Helheim in the first game, Senua’s new story takes players through the landscape of 10th-century Iceland. Many of the in-game locations are inspired by real places and recreated in stunning detail thanks to next-gen graphics. Lean into the gripping atmosphere and try not to jump when you’re surprised with enemies straight out of Nordic myth.
