Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 has an option to delete your save file, if that’s something you need, but the method isn’t as clear as you may think. After you’ve started a playthrough, the main screen will continue to greet you with the option to begin a “new story”. While useful, Hellblade 2 only has a single save file.
“If you hit ‘new story,’ it will instantly and without any warning delete all your save data,” GameSpot editor Jessica Cogswell wrote on X (formerly Twitter) today. “This was a fun thing to discover.”
Now you know to be especially careful if you’re playing Hellblade 2 at night after a long day and your focus isn’t exactly as sharp as it could be. In case it’s worth mentioning, this is different than the “permadeath” mechanic in Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, which threatened to delete your save file but actually didn’t.
