'Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice' Gets Optimized For Xbox Series X|S - Trailer

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, based on Celtic myth, is an experience focused on delivering a deep character in a twisted world, with brutal uncompromising combat.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice comes from the makers of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and DmC: Devil May Cry.

Set in the Viking age, it is the story of Senua, a traumatised Celtic warrior journeying into the Viking underworld of hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover.

Supported by Wellcome and created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull players deep into Senua’s mind.

"We’re incredibly proud that four years after launching Hellblade, we still hear from players on pretty much a daily basis who are experiencing our game for the first time. With an incredible 6.3 million total players across all platforms, Senua’s story has reached more people than we could have possibly imagined. We’re excited to give Hellblade a new lease of life with this update on next-gen Xbox consoles, not just to have a definitive version of the game available, but also to ensure we get to see more people experiencing Senua’s journey for years to come."

"The Xbox One X Enhanced version of Hellblade was great but moving to Xbox Series X|S lets us really push the boundaries of what we can do with the game. Our starting point was to put everything on max settings, then make tweaks and additions from there. We were pleasantly surprised how great we could make this game look and run on Xbox Series X|S; the end result is even better than what we had hoped when we set out to make this update."

"Senua’s journey is a cinematic experience, so the visual improvements are really going to up the immersion and bring the world of Helheim to life in a way we haven’t been able to do on console before. Ray traced reflections bring a new depth to the environments, from the torchlit passageways of Hela’s domain to the dramatic beaches of Shipwreck Coast."

"We’re chuffed to be able to bring ray tracing to Xbox Series X|S. I’ve been playing through the game again in Enriched Visuals mode, and the ray traced reflections are stunning, it’s really amazing what the team has been able to do."

"Smart Delivery makes this update really simple. Players with an Xbox Series X|S will automatically get the new optimized update and will be ready to enjoy all the new features."

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is currently available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
