Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is officially releasing on May 21 for Xbox Series X|S and PC and will be a digital-only title. The release date was announced as part of the Xbox Developer Direct, where more gameplay was shared. In addition to that, an Xbox Wire blog post confirmed that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be a digital only title and cost $49.99. For anyone who was planning on experiencing the title via Xbox Game Pass, that’s still happening. But for people who wanted to purchase the game, the only option will be a digital version, with no plans for a physical release at the moment. Xbox also revealed how long Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be.
Hellblade 2 Will Be the Same Length as the Original
In addition to confirming that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be a digital only release, the Xbox Wire post also confirmed how long the game will be. The blog post briefly mentions that it will be “a game similar in length to the first,” while discussing Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. While this doesn’t provide an exact hour count, we can estimate how long it will be based on Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrfice’s length.
According to HowLongToBeat, the original game is roughly an 8 hour experience. There isn’t much variance in time between just the story and full completion, so this is likely a fairly accurate hour count. While this doesn’t confirm that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be exactly 8 hours, it does mean that it should sit somewhere around there.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 follows Senua through a twisted version of 10th-century Iceland, where she must fight for survival. During the journey, there will be puzzles, combat, and intense experiences of psychosis that Senua must deal with.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is set to launch on May 21, 2024, for Xbox Series X|S and PC. It will also be available via Xbox Game Pass at launch.
