Alongside the PS5 release of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, it looks like the game will also be getting a physical release through Limited Run Games. As caught by VGC, a listing for the game has popped up on the official website for ESRB which mentions that the game will be available through retailers like Best Buy, Walmart and Amazon.
No official announcement has been made as of yet, and even Limited Run Games’ official website doesn’t yet list Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 as one of its upcoming releases. The links provided on the ESRB page also don’t have any mention of physical editions of the game. Rather, the links are simply search entries on the appropriate storefront, which currently only seem to have codes for the digital version of the game for Windows and Xbox Series X/S.
Interestingly, the ESRB website also has a new listing for the original Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, once again being published by Limited Run Games, but this time around for the Nintendo Switch.
Limited Run Games is known for partnering up with various game developers and publishers to release lavish physical releases. While these sometimes only feature a disc with the game, other times, there also tend to be physical goodies involved, like maps, art books, posters, and soundtrack CDs.
A PS5 release for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 was officially announced just last week after several rumours. The upcoming release will include new features that will also be brought in to the PC and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game with a free update. The title will also make use of some PS5-exclusive features, including haptic feedback through the DualSense controller, as well as visual enhancements for the PS5 Pro.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 was originally released for PC and PS5 back in May 2024. The game puts players in the shoes of the eponymous Senua as she embarks on a quest to free her people in ninth-century Iceland. Shortly after its initial release, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 got a trailer showcasing all of the accolades it had gotten from the press.
Ninja Theory studio head Dom Matthews had revealed last year that development on Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 hadn’t begun until the studio was done with working on its multiplayer title Bleeding Edge. This was despite the title having gotten its official announcement all the way back in 2019.
“It’s been seven years since the last [Hellblade] game, but we’ve been working on it [Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2] for less time than that,” said Matthews. “When we announced it in 2019, we had that trailer, but that was really all we had on the game. Things weren’t developed beyond that point.”
“We pushed to do that,” Matthews explained when asked how it felt to have the game announced alongside the console. “We were excited about the creative idea that we had around that.”
