IGN | “Hellblade 2 is Shaping Up to Be Another Beautiful Nighmare 8“
Per Simon Cardy 8 over at IGN, “Its ambitious narrative and accomplished cinematic framing far outweigh whatever shortcomings may be hidden underneath, and the incredible technology powering its beautifully ugly world is a sight to behold. It’s all shaping up to be another riveting, haunting, and uncompromisingly immersive nightmare of both Senua’s and Ninja Theory’s creation, and one I can’t wait to both enter, and escape, later this year.”

Not only is it a fluid and responsive action-adventure game, boasting best-in-class visual fidelity, it’s also an experience with something meaningful to convey.”Gamespot | “Hellblade 2’s Combat Looks Beautiful And Feels Badass 2“
Per Jordan Ramée via Gamespot – “Truly, May cannot come soon enough. I can’t remember the last time a game preview left me so excited to dive into the full experience. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is set to launch for Xbox Series X|S and PC on May 21 and will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass.”
Polygon | “Hellblade 2 will finally show us what an Unreal Engine 5 game can do 5“

Hellblade 2' will be delivered in 2.39:1 aspect ratio, creating cinematic film bars on non-ultrawide displays
- Hellblade 2 is an upcoming cinematic narrative adventure from Ninja Theory.
- The game will launch initially on Xbox consoles and Windows PC, as a digital-only release.
- The game sports cutting-edge visual techniques and sound design, and will support ultrawide monitors.
- However, it seems that the ultrawide aspect ratio will be the default, resulting in cinematic film bars on regular widescreen displays.

Hellblade 2 opts for a cinematic aspect ratio, and will look absolutely stunning on ultrawide displays. If you have one, that is.
