‘Hellblade’ Finally Heading to Xbox One April 11th

Published

Look, we all know that Ninja Theory’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is awesome. Unfortunately, for Xbox One users, they haven’t had the opportunity to experience the awesomeness. Well, that changes next month, as the critically-acclaimed action game is headed to Xbox One April 11th.

As an added bonus, for XBox One X users, Hellblade will also be enhanced for Xbox One X. According to Ninja Theory, Hellblade will come equipped with three performance modes: Enhanced Visuals will add extra effects and visual quality; High Framerate will run the game at 60 frames per second; and High Resolution will run the game at 4K resolution with dynamic scaling. HDR is supported as standard on both Xbox One and Xbox One X. Hellblade will set you back $30USD on Xbox, but you’ll get a 10% discount if you pre-order today.

I hate to sound like a broken record, so I’ll just say *insert line urging you to buy the Hellblade here*.
