“Improved graphics and new features such as ray tracing”
The PS5 version is not just a port, but has been specially optimized for the console. In addition to razor-sharp textures and elaborate lighting and shadow effects thanks to ray tracing, the game now delivers butter-smooth frame rates of up to 120 fps. Thanks to haptic feedback in the DualSense controller, players can feel every nuance of Senua’s journey – from quiet heartbeats to the impact of powerful blows.
Technically, too, everything was geared towards a smooth implementation. According to developer Ninja Theory, the port benefited enormously from Unreal Engine 5, which improved not only the image quality but also the performance on the PS5. Those who wish to can also enjoy the Enhanced Edition on PC and Xbox Series X/S – Xbox players can even find part two directly in Game Pass.
A new experience for old and new players
For fans of the series, this is the perfect opportunity to experience Senua’s battle against inner and outer demons in an even more intense form. Newcomers, on the other hand, get the best version to immerse themselves in the atmospheric world of Hellblade. With today’s releases, Ninja Theory shows how technical upgrades can breathe new life into a game, not only visually but also in terms of gameplay.
Whether you’re embarking on the journey for the first time or want to relive old memories in a new light, Senua is waiting. And this time, she looks better than ever.
