Senua's Saga: Hellblade II PC Specs & Requirements

March 11, 2024

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is an upcoming action-adventure game and is the sequel to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. It is scheduled to release for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on 21st May 2024.

Developed by Ninja Theory and published by Xbox Game Studios, the game sees Senua return in a “brutal journey of survival through the myth and torment of Viking Iceland. Intent on saving those who have fallen victim to the horrors of tyranny, Senua faces a battle of overcoming the darkness within and without.”

In the game, players will “sink deep into the next chapter of Senua’s story, a crafted experience told through cinematic immersion, beautifully realised visuals and encapsulating sound.”

As with any modern game release, knowing the system requirements necessary to run the game at optimal settings is vital for having an enjoyable gameplay experience. In this article, we’ll explore the PC specs required to run Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, as well as provide recommendations for those looking to upgrade their current setup. 

So, read on to discover what hardware you will need to immerse yourself in this dark world.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Minimum Requirements

Currently, Ninja Theory hasn’t revealed the game’s minimum and recommended specifications. But, using games of a similar calibre alongside the previous title, we can put together some speculative estimations.

To get Senua's Saga: Hellblade II up and running at 1080p resolution, with most settings likely on low but hitting a decent 30 FPS, you most likely won’t need an overly powerful PC.

Here, we’ve used the minimum specs listed for Horizon Forbidden West which is another heavy-duty single-player title, as these specs are pretty typical of a lot of modern releases. Both the CPU and GPU options are showing their age now so most gaming PCs made within the last 5 years or so should be able to handle getting the game up and running.

Even though the game is relatively small in size compared to a lot of other modern titles, it’ll always benefit from being installed on a fast drive. With this in mind, consider upgrading your system with an SSD for faster load times, even if it's a smaller one.

If your PC just meets these specifications, however, you will need to be content with the lowest settings. You’ll only be able to play at around 1080p at 30 FPS with pretty much all the settings on low.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Recommended Requirements

Here, we decided to use the recommended specs listed for Cyberpunk 2077 as it is another game with a similar graphical output. Systems that fall within these recommended specifications will likely provide a solid Senua's Saga: Hellblade II gameplay experience at 1080p, increasing framerates and graphical settings closer to ‘high’.

These recommended specs aren’t too much of a jump from the minimum requirements either, with some of the suggested components being of a similar age. Although the upgrade in GPU does bring new features such as DLSS technology and the option for ray tracing via the Nvidia RTX graphics card.

However, they are a couple of generations old now and can be hard to get your hands on, so will likely not be the best option for value for money and you should instead look to newer parts.
