Hellblade 2 Reportedly Runs at 30fps With no Graphics Mode on Xbox Series X/S

According to a recent preview by the German outlet Game Pro, Hellblade 2 runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X/S and features no graphics options. The framerate can only be changed on PC. According to the game’s visual effects director Mark Slater-Tunstill, the decision was made to make the game feel more cinematic. Last month, Ninja Theory announced via a post on its official Twitter account that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will include a photo mode. The post also included several photos taken with the photo mode. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will launch on May 21 for Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. In Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, Senua returns “in a brutal journey of survival through the myth and torment of Viking Iceland.”

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 details:

The sequel to the award winning Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Senua returns in a brutal journey of survival through the myth and torment of Viking Iceland. Intent on saving those who have fallen victim to the horrors of tyranny, Senua faces a battle of overcoming the darkness within and without.
