Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition Brings Back Deadly Permadeath Mechanic — This Time It Might Be Real
Hellblade 2 has been released to the general public, even the ones hiding in the shadows, in quiet nights where you are alone, waiting, listening. Ninja Theory plays on the powerful story and topic left in their first gam, and wonderfully it worked out well for them, offering a very positive rating on Steam just days after its debut. The creators at Ninja Theory are planning on rolling all that good karma downhill and into their enhanced edition.
If you needed a test of valor..
Hellblade 2 offers you one right off the bat: a challenge fit to catch even Odin’s eye, perhaps earning the sight of hooves and wings as you suck in that mighty last breath. With the return of permadeath, this time with a far more effective bite. Black rot has returned with its cloying horror. Once switched on, this disease will sit in Senua’s lungs, climbing higher and higher till it reaches her brain and- all the saves will be reset. Hellblade 2 is not messing around this time.
Other nice details
Some other changes in Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition aren’t just about death, dying, and the wonder of persistence. You will also see an uptick in the environments with the new graphics setting being put on blast under the “very high” push that rig to the max! See just what it can do. Along with that, the game will finally be verified on Steam Deck. This will nicely complement the new photo mode, sporting the fancy enhanced title as well. Perfect to catch that breakdown in mid-fight with the stunning angle.
Overall
Hellblade 2 is planning on updating its game around August 12 with these neat tricks bundled in. If you’ve been debating following the hype, wishing you could reach out and kil- I mean save the lost and hopeless, then why not wait to get the best it’s gonna be? Hellblade 2 has one of the most stunning stories many gamers will ever see, with such insight that most will never get to understand. If you want something different, pick it up!
