Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is the next entry in the Hellblade franchise and follows Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice from 2017.
Microsoft has recently revealed that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will use the new Unreal Engine 5 to power the game.
Microsoft revealed the use of Unreal Engine 5 for Hellblade 2 through a post on the Xbox Wire blog.
“The power of Xbox Series X was first demonstrated with the unveiling of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. The team will be building the game on Unreal 5 and leveraging the power of Xbox Series X to bring the Hellblade franchise to levels never before seen,” said Jason Ronald, Director of Program Management for Xbox Series X.”
“The reveal trailer, which debuted at The Game Awards 2019 in December, was packed with detailed close-up shots of Senua’s face during an occult chant, as well as other breathtaking views. With Microsoft confirming that the team ‘will be building’ Senua’s Saga on the new engine, it’s possible that the already stunning visuals will be upgraded accordingly.” The full article on Hellblade 2’s use of Unreal Engine 5 is available here.
