Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be locked to 30fps on Xbox Series X|S consoles, Ninja Theory has confirmed. In an interview with German magazine GamePro, visual effects director Mark Slater-Tunstill confirmed the studio has opted to emphasize the cinematic nature of the game–which was developed on Unreal Engine 5–by running it at 30fps alongside dynamic scaling.
Beyond the stylistic choice, the game is still set to be a technical showcase with its impressive facial animations, realistic textures, and tense combat.
“Senua’s movements in combat look and feel more realistic, prioritizing the heft of her sword, felt through her tired desperation during lengthier fights,” Jordan Ramée wrote in a Hellblade 2 hands-on session. “Whenever Senua clashes swords with someone, Hellblade II makes it feel tense, as if life itself is challenging Senua to earn her right to exist in this world.”
