Ninja Theory is using Unreal Engine 5 for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is one of the biggest upcoming games for Microsoft’s Xbox platform. And on Xbox Series X, the game will take full advantage of Epic’s next-gen Unreal Engine 5 development tools. Microsoft revealed this nugget of news today in a blog post that details everything it has announced about Xbox Series X so far.

Hellblade II running on Unreal 5 is notable because Epic first demonstrated the engine on PlayStation 5. But Unreal remains a universal, multiplatform suite of tools, and it obviously is going to support Xbox Series X. This means Hellblade II could take advantage of Unreal 5’s global-illumination tech and updated texture streaming.
