In the game, set entrenched in Norse mythology, the warrior Senua battles a gauntlet of hellish creatures in an attempt to save the soul of her dead lover. The game was praised for exploring themes of mental illness and psychological horror, atop tight hack and slash gameplay with puzzle solving elements.
It's unknown at this time how much Hellblade will cost when it hits Xbox, but it appears that the game will also enjoy Xbox One X enhancements, listing 4K resolution and HDR as visual features. Ninja Theory further detailed the game's enhancements, which comes with three separate modes for enhanced visuals, higher resolution (dynamic up to full 4K, beating the PS4 Pro's 1440p maximum), and a HD 60 FPS performance mode for those without 4K TVs.
