Summary
New reports have indicated that the physical edition ofSenua’s Saga: Hellblade 2will be published by Limited Run Games on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, not Microsoft. This is a fairly surprising development, considering thatSenua’s Saga: Hellblade 2is a first-party Microsoft title and was initially published by it.
Developed by Ninja Theory,Hellblade 2was released early in 2024.Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2received positive reviews, and it currently holds an average critic score of 81 onOpenCritic. The title was mostly praised for its visuals and story, with its gameplay being the least well-received aspect of the product.
Now, anESRB ratingforHellblade 2has been published and, weirdly, it lists Limited Run Games instead of Microsoft as the publisher. As gamers may remember, Microsoft did not publish a physical release for the original version ofHellblade 2on the Xbox last year, so the new edition could be a good chance for collectors who want one.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2’s Physical Release Will Be Published By Limited Run Games
This revelation comes on the heels ofMicrosoft revealing the Enhanced Edition ofHellblade 2, which will be available for the PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. The edition will include new features and improved visuals, and Ninja Theory stated that it will be out by the summer. Considering that the ESRB did not reveal a release date, it’s possible that the physical discs could be out by the same time.
Another mystery is how limited the upcoming physical edition will be. Reports from 2024 have indicated thatHellblade 2did not sell very well, despite the positive reviews. So, it’s possible that not many units will be manufactured by Limited Run Games.
In any case, it’s likely thatSenua’s Saga: Hellblade 2will be in good hands with Limited Run Games as its publisher, as the company has a wide list of games released and distributed by it. More recently,Limited Run Games started pre-orders for theGex Trilogyremaster, which will be released with a physical edition on June 16. The game will feature widescreen resolution and improved analog controls. The upcoming release comes with three different physical editions: Standard, Classic, and Tail Time, which will each have different kinds of goodies for collectors who love theGexfranchise. Hopefully,Hellblade 2’s physical release will keep up with this high level of quality.
