Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, short lifespan, disappointing framerate, inspiration from Game of Thrones, a lot of information revealed

Next month, Ninja Theory And Microsoft will launch Senua’s Saga: Hellblade IIFollowing Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. A title exclusive to PC and Xbox Series The opportunity to discover sometimes disappointing information.

The subject that will cause the most ink to flow, relayed by GameProit is that of frame rate. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will be capped at 30 fps on Xbox Series X|Swhile the frame rate will depend on your PC configuration. For such an anticipated and ambitious game, running under Unreal Engine 5 and releasing in 2024 on a latest generation console, it’s disappointing, the promise of titles in 4K at 120 fps still seems so far away (Ninja Theory did not mention the resolution). However, special effects director Mark Slater-Tunstill justifies this frame rate at 30 fps explaining that developers want cinematic renderingtherefore approaching the 24 frames per second of cinema.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II was designed as an interactive film, like the previous part, this direction will also be felt in the combat side. All movements of Senua were carried out in motion capturefor increased realism, as studio head Dom Matthews explained on the official website Xbox :

If all these movements – running, climbing, fighting – come from performance capture, they will be anchored in reality. They will be consistent and real.

The main goal was to make fighting an integral part of the journey.

Ninja Theory specifies that clashes will only be against one enemy at a timeas fight director Benoit Macon confirmed to GamesRadar+. The action is obviously more chaotic around Senuabut the heroine will focus on one opponent at a time, Benoit Macon inspired by the Battle of the Bastards from the Serie Game Of Thronesfor a brutal experience and a feeling of oppression.

Finally, it is the subject of the lifespan which was addressed at IGN. Dom Matthews claimed that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will be as long as the first part, which ended in less than eight hours. He said gamers want to immerse themselves in a shorter experience, with headphones on and the lights off, saying there’s no need to play a 50 or 100 hour game. While it is true that there is a strong demand for video games with a more modest lifespan, let us remember that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will only be available in digital format and at a undoubtedly high price…

Fortunately, the game of Ninja Theory will also be released in the Game Pass on PC and Xbox Series X|Smany players will prefer this economic model to discover Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, especially after reading all this information.
