The one of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is, without a doubt, one of the most anticipated releases of this year. And, although recent history has already taught us that we should not develop expectations regarding the games that are to come, the truth is that what we have been able to see so far is promising. And if we add to that that we have been waiting for it since 2019, it is more than understandable that there are quite a few people who are looking forward to it.
After a while without news about it, it was a surprise to see it reappear at the Xbox Showcase 2023, in June of last year, although it was announced for sometime in 2024, which at that time still sounded far away. The passage of time is inexorable, so that what seemed distant at that time, today translates into a few weeks, since Hellblade 2 will go on sale very soon, next May 21.
With such a short deadline, and even more so with the game already in pre-sale, it began to be very urgent for Ninja Theory (developer) and Xbox Game Studios (publisher), it was imperative that the technical requirements of Hellblade 2 be published, and it is that Let us remember that it has been developed with Unreal Engine 5which means that we can expect a lot and very good from its graphics, but this will undoubtedly translate into a high level of demand so that we can enjoy this experience.
The wait is finally over Ninja Theory and Xbox Game Studios have already published the technical requirements for Hellblade 2 for PC and, from what we can see, the front door is quite affordable. However, the moment we begin to raise the level of the graphics section, we find an exponential growth in these requirements. Although you can see them in the image above, for easier reading you can also find them in this table:
| Minima | Media | Recommended | Ultra | |
| Adjustment | Down to 1,080p | Medium at 1,080p | Medium at 1,440p | High to 4K |
| Processor | Intel i5-8400 AMD Ryzen 5 2600 |
Intel i5-9600 AMD Ryzen 5 3600X |
Intel i7-10700K AMD Ryzen 5 5600X |
Intel i5-12600K AMD Ryzen 7 5700X |
| RAM | 16 gigabytes | 16 gigabytes | 16 gigabytes | 16 gigabytes |
| GPU | NVIDIA GTX 1070 AMD RX 570 Intel Arc A580 |
NVIDIA RTX 2070 AMD RX 5700 XT Intel Arc A580 |
NIVIA RTX 3080 AMD RX 6800 XT Intel Arc A770 |
NVIDIA RTX 4080 AMD RX 7900 XTX |
| VRAM | 6 gigabytes | 8 gigabytes | 8 gigabytes | 12 gigabytes |
| Storage | 70 gigabyte SSD | 70 gigabyte SSD | 70 gigabyte SSD | 70 gigabyte SSD |
| Operational S. | Windows 10/11 64 bit | Windows 10/11 64 bit | Windows 10/11 64 bit | Windows 10/11 64 bit |
Thus, as you can see, in general any team from recent years that, yes, has 16 gigabytes of RAM and a dedicated graphics adapter with 6GB of VRAM, you will be able to play Hellblade 2 in conditions with FullHD resolution. However, when we want to make the jump to higher resolutions with higher graphic settings, the level of demand regarding the graphics adapter takes a huge leap, distancing it from the majority.
