FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 will reportedly run at 30FPS on Xbox Series X and 
Xbox Series S . 

According to German outlet GamePro , Ninja Theory's upcoming sequel to 2017's 
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice won't feature an optional performance mode on 
Xbox and will be capped at 30FPS with a dynamic resolution (via Eurogamer ). 
It was stated, however, that the PC version will allow players to have a 
higher FPS. 

In an interview with Hellblade 2 's visual effects director Mark 
Slater-Tunstill, the experience on Xbox Series X|S should feel more 
"cinematic" despite running at 30FPS, like how movies are shot at 24 frames 
per second. 

GamePro's preview also mentions that the 30FPS lock doesn't have any major 
downsides to the rest of the game, stating that: "Since the gameplay is 
generally rather slow and weighty, the smooth 30 fps didn't bother me, at 
least not in the playback session." 

 Hellblade 2 has been built in Unreal Engine 5 and Polygon was able to learn 
from Ninja Theory that it allowed the game's realist approach to be more 
achievable due to the level of fidelity available in the engine's Nanite 
geometry system and because "the turnaround between scanning the thing and 
putting it in the level is drastically cut, and you can spend that time 
finessing. 

 Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is an action-adventure game set to launch on May 
21 for Xbox Series X|S and PC. It will once again follow protagonist Senua as 
she sets out on a brutal journey of survival to confront the Vikings in 
Iceland who destroyed her home. 

Ninja Theory announced the game back in 2019 and it wasn't until The Game 
Awards 2021 that was received the first six-minute gameplay trailer and then 
another official story trailer during The Game Awards 2023. You might also
