Ninja Theory has done a lot of research on psychosis, so whether it stays Xbox exclusive or goes multiplatform (rumors are already circulating), Hellblade’s sequel has nothing to be ashamed of.

A 23-minute video has been released by the British studio for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, showing off the game’s psychotic mechanics. As the developers were very concerned about authenticity, they prove it with accurate depictions, and they took the task so seriously that we can see a neuroscience professor and someone suffering from it appear. A more accurate picture would only be possible if one of the developers suffered from this mental illness…

It has become almost commonplace in game development that as you get closer to release, the level of graphical detail is reduced somewhat, and so it gets a little uglier, although not many have reached Ubisoft’s level (remember how beautiful Watch_Dogs was in the E3 video and how far it was from that when it was released in 2014), but Ninja Theory has done the opposite. In fact, the sequel to Senua’s story looks nicer: lighting, animations and details in general have improved.

A comparison was even made to compare the material with the content presented at The Game Awards 2021. Although Twitter’s compression spoils the whole thing, the new footage looks more vividly lit and better animated. Of course, the PC system speed is also very high. We’ve summarized them before, but for now we’ll just mention the bare minimum:

Minimum system requirements – low graphics preset, 1080p resolution, unknown frame rate:

Operating system: Windows 10/11 x64 (no version number)

Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070/AMD Radeon RX 5700/Intel Arc A580

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will be released on May 21 for the Xbox line, PC, and will also be available on Game Pass.
