hellblade 2 how long to beat

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is set to be a similar length to the first game, but how long is that exactly? Here’s the time it’ll take for you to clear the story.

With Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice ending as a somewhat complete story, Hellblade 2 will have a lot of opportunities to explore new grounds for its narrative. 

Instead of chasing open world trends, Ninja Theory is aiming for a similar experience as the first game regarding its narrative. While details are still sparse on what exactly will be happening in the sequel’s story, here’s everything we know about how long it will take to finish Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.

The main story length of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is estimated to be around 8-9 hours long, as the studio is aiming for a play time around the same as the first game.

According to an official blog post on Xbox Wire from Ninja Theory studio head Dom Matthews, the developer “took advantage of the freedom that digital-only distribution offered us to create a game of the length that fit perfectly with our intended experience but could be sold at a lower price to reflect the shorter length of our story.”

Hellblade 2 will be “a game similar in length to the first Hellblade, with a focused narrative, and sold digital-only at a price of $49.99 USD,” Matthews continued.

Video game tracker site HowLongToBeat puts Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice completion time at around 8 hours for its main story length, and 9 hours if you do a completionist run.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice didn’t have much for you to do as side content, though there were collectibles littered around the game to find. So, if the sequel is the same principle here, it should take you around the same time to complete the game.
