Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is shaping up well, but is Hellblade 2 coming to the PlayStation 5? Or is the new Ninja Theory release an Xbox exclusive?<\/b>
\nHellblade: Senua\u2019s Sacrifice grew to become one of the most critically acclaimed releases in all of gaming. Small wonder everyone\u2019s excited about its sequel, Senua\u2019s Saga: Hellblade 2. However, Ninja Theory\u2019s upcoming game won\u2019t be following the same release pattern as its previous release. Notably, it will be available on fewer platforms. The next question is obvious: Will Hellblade 2 release for PS5? Sorry, PS5 players: Senua\u2019s Saga: Hellblade 2 is not coming to PlayStation consoles. Speaking on Twitter, Xbox General Manager Aaron Greenberg confirmed that Hellblade 2 is being developed exclusively for Xbox and PC. Considering that the previous game was made available for PlayStation consoles, this may take some players by surprise. Hellblade: Senua\u2019s Sacrifice actually launched for PC and PlayStation first, releasing as a timed-exclusive in August of 2017. It arrived on Xbox One about eight months later, and a Nintendo Switch port arrived exactly one year after that. Things are obviously a bit different with the sequel. Senua\u2019s Saga: Hellblade 2 is not simply a timed exclusive on Xbox \u2014 it\u2019s an outright Xbox exclusive. That\u2019s because Microsoft acquired developer Ninja Theory back in June of 2018. The developers were very excited about the merger, saying that Microsoft could offer them \u201cfull creative independence.\u201d Of course, since Ninja Theory is now part of Xbox Game Studios, all of their games will be exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem, including Hellblade 2. You won\u2019t have to have the latest hardware to play it, though. That\u2019s because the developers also plan to make Hellblade 2 playable on Xbox One. This means last-generation players can still try it out, though they obviously won\u2019t get the best-looking version of the experience. In short, Hellblade 2 is not coming to PlayStation consoles. Microsoft now owns Ninja Theory, making the game an Xbox and PC exclusive. You\u2019ll be able to play it on Xbox One, but it won\u2019t release for the PlayStation 4 or PS5.<\/p>\n
