Xbox Game Studios and developer Ninja Theory have announced that Senua's Saga: Hellblade II will launch for PlayStation 5 this summer. The PlayStation 5 version will arrive with several new features, including enhanced haptic feedback and optimization for PS5 Pro.
These enhancements will also be rolled out as a free update for the existing Xbox Series and PC versions on the same day.
Originally released for Xbox Series and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on May 21, 2025, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
The game continues the journey of Senua, a Celtic warrior, as she navigates a brutal path through myth and torment in Viking-era Iceland.
Optimized for PlayStation 5, the new version aims to elevate immersion through detailed visuals, spatial sound, and tactile controller feedback. Players will experience Senua's inner and outer battles with a unique perspective shaped by her psychosis, which remains central to the storytelling.
Key features of the game include visceral, narrative-driven combat, realistic landscapes based on 10th-century Iceland, and a deeply immersive cinematic presentation. The experience blends intense psychological themes with action and exploration.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II has earned praise from critics and has won multiple awards, including honors at The Game Awards and the 2025 BAFTA Games Awards.
A new trailer showcasing the PS5 version is now available, offering fans a closer look at what to expect from this next-gen experience.

Can 'GTA VI' revive the videogame industry?

The global videogame market's growth rate is expected to improve marginally in 2025 from the previous year, according to a report from research firm Newzoo, seen exclusively by Reuters on Tuesday. Analysts and industry experts had projected a surge in industry growth this year due to the expected blockbuster launch of Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto VI and new consoles. However, the delay of the long-awaited title to next year and price hikes to videogame hardware, arising from tariffs, have made consumer spending uncertain. The global videogame market is projected to grow 3.4 per cent to $188.9 billion in 2025, compared with last year's growth of 3.2 per cent, according to the report. "This forecast reflects concrete changes, hardware cycles, pricing trends, install base growth, and title pipelines," said Michiel Buijsman, principle analyst at Newzoo. Compounded annually, Newzoo expects the market to grow 3.3 per cent till 2027, compared with its earlier forecast of 3.7 per cent As GTA VI is scheduled to launch in 2026, the industry will most likely see the boost from sales next year along with the release of other premium titles such as Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem. The launch of GTA VI on PC is also expected to carry growth through 2027, the report said. Price increases to Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's PlayStation devices have sparked fears of slower hardware sales as consumers globally grapple with market uncertainty. Xbox also unveiled its own handheld console, the Xbox Ally, earlier this month, developed in partnership with ASUS and set to launch in holidays 2025. However, despite this uncertain trajectory of videogame uptake, earlier this month, as per AFP, the Switch 2 smashed records to become the fastest-selling console ever after gamers snapped up 3.5 million units in its first four days.

Resident Evil Requiem release date, platforms, and trailer revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025

Capcom has officially unveiled Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth main installment in its iconic survival horror franchise, with a release date scheduled for February 27, 2026. The announcement came during Summer Game Fest 2025 in Los Angeles, making it one of the standout reveals at the end of the presentation. The game was introduced through a surprise trailer approximately 20 minutes after Capcom first teased the future of the Resident Evil series earlier in the show. That initial segment acknowledged the franchise's upcoming 30th anniversary in March 2026 but stopped short of revealing any new footage or specific details. In a video message shared prior to the trailer reveal, Capcom game director Jun Takeuchi thanked fans for their continued support. 'Thanks to all of you, Resident Evil is about to celebrate its 30th anniversary this coming March,' Takeuchi said. 'We truly appreciate your continued support… bear with us a little longer… and it'll be ready.' Resident Evil Requiem will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The new game follows 2021's Resident Evil Village, which was the franchise's eighth mainline title. The original Resident Evil was released in 1996 for the PlayStation, created by Shinji Mikami and Tokuro Fujiwara. The series has since evolved into a major multimedia franchise, with numerous sequels, remakes, and adaptations for film and television, solidifying its place in video game history. With Requiem, Capcom looks to honor the legacy of the franchise while pushing the survival horror genre into its next chapter. The reveal closed out Summer Game Fest 2025 on a high note and has already generated strong excitement among fans.
