PlayStation 5 players who opt for the Deluxe Edition of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will receive an unexpected bonus. The game, which launched on Xbox as a Day One Game Pass title, initially faced low sales despite favorable reviews, achieving an 81 on Metacritic, matching its predecessor’s score. Furthermore, Xbox’s multiplatform approach has intensified, allowing previously Xbox-exclusive titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Forza Horizon 5 to release on PlayStation 5, indicating a strategic shift.

Ninja Theory will include an enhanced version of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice along with a digital soundtrack in the Deluxe Edition available on August 12, for an additional $20. This enhancement should give the original game an improved appearance on PS5, aiming to attract more players. Given its intertwined narrative style with acclaimed titles like God of War and The Last of Us, Hellblade 2 may perform well on the PlayStation platform, especially in conjunction with the original game’s enhanced version launching simultaneously.

Fans are eager for updates from Limited Run Games regarding rumors of a physical edition of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. Should those rumors validate, it will be intriguing to see if it includes a Deluxe edition with the enhanced original game. For now, those interested in the digital version will only need to anticipate its arrival on August 12.
