Summary

  • Limited Run Games will publish the physical edition of Hellblade 2.
  • This is surprising as Hellblade 2 is a first-party game from Xbox Game Studios.
  • Hellblade 2's physical edition is currently without a release date.

New reports have indicated that the physical edition of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be published by Limited Run Games on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, not Microsoft. This is a fairly surprising development, considering that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is a first-party Microsoft title and was initially published by it.

Developed by Ninja Theory, Hellblade 2 was released early in 2024. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 received positive reviews, and it currently holds an average critic score of 81 on OpenCritic. The title was mostly praised for its visuals and story, with its gameplay being the least well-received aspect of the product.

Now, an ESRB rating for Hellblade 2 has been published and, weirdly, it lists Limited Run Games instead of Microsoft as the publisher. As gamers may remember, Microsoft did not publish a physical release for the original version of Hellblade 2 on the Xbox last year, so the new edition could be a good chance for collectors who want one.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2's Physical Release Will Be Published By Limited Run Games

This revelation comes on the heels of Microsoft revealing the Enhanced Edition of Hellblade 2, which will be available for the PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. The edition will include new features and improved visuals, and Ninja Theory stated that it will be out by the summer. Considering that the ESRB did not reveal a release date, it’s possible that the physical discs could be out by the same time.

Another mystery is how limited the upcoming physical edition will be. Reports from 2024 have indicated that Hellblade 2 did not sell very well, despite the positive reviews. So, it’s possible that not many units will be manufactured by Limited Run Games.

In any case, it’s likely that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be in good hands with Limited Run Games as its publisher, as the company has a wide list of games released and distributed by it. More recently, Limited Run Games started pre-orders for the Gex Trilogy remaster, which will be released with a physical edition on June 16. The game will feature widescreen resolution and improved analog controls. The upcoming release comes with three different physical editions: Standard, Classic, and Tail Time, which will each have different kinds of goodies for collectors who love the Gex franchise. Hopefully, Hellblade 2’s physical release will keep up with this high level of quality.
