Get ready to so clear up some space as Ninja Theory reveals the minimum and recommended PC specifications that are needed to run Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. The game is a direct sequel to the 2017s Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
Hellblade II is set to release on May 21 which by the way is also the release date for Ubisoft’s XDefiant and will continue the story from the previous game. The second instalment further improves on visuals, atmosphere and added realism.
With the advancing tech, the graphics for video games are now becoming even more demanding. Hellblade II is also not an exception, as to run the game on minimum setting, players will need either a GTX 1070 or RX 5700.
One thing to see at launch will be the performance on recommended specs. Games in recent days have picked up a trend of bad performance even on recommended specifications. Ninja Theory doesn’t necessarily have a bad rep in that department, but the current situation has made everyone sceptical.
However, considering another long-awaited game, not to mention a competitive title is launching on the same date, any issue can mess up the release. For now, let’s check out the on-paper specifications -
