What is Hellblade 2 Senua's Saga's official release date?

Although Hellblade 2 Senua's Saga was announced back in 2019, the studio never announced any potential release date or window, that is, until Xbox Developer's Direct 2024. Hellblade 2 Senua's Saga is scheduled to be released on May 21, 2024, for Xbox Series X/S and Windows PC. The game will also be coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one.

Hellblade 2, much like its predecessor, focuses on delivering a strong, well-written, and engaging story, with enemy encounters and puzzles thrown in the mix to diversify the gameplay. However, the sequel will also feature some new additions that, according to Ninja Theory, will make the game much more immersive than the previous Hellblade title.
