Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is a 2024 action-adventure game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Xbox Game Studios. The game serves as the sequel to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (2017) and is set in 9th century Iceland, drawing inspiration from Norse mythology and culture.Senua's Saga: Hellblade II was released for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on 21 May 2024.

Engine: Unreal Engine 5. We test using the High preset, TSR set to 100% render scale, DX12 API.

Next we have another new addition to our roster, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. Like Black Myth: Wukong, this is another Unreal Engine 5 title, and perhaps it's no coincidence that those are the only two games we tested where the B580 is slower than the RTX 4060 at 1080p – this time by a 12% margin.

It does close the gap at 1440p, reducing the deficit to just 3%, though the framerate has slipped to just 26fps, so you'd need to enable upscaling for smoother performance.
