We are only a few weeks away from the release of the second Hellblade, and today the developers from the studio Ninja Theory https://twitter.com/NinjaTheory/status/1786410666993074227 o other important information that will be good to know if you play on PC. We learned the complete HW requirements.
The absolute minimum you have to meet in order to be guaranteed that the game will run is an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-8400 processor, an Nvidia GTX 1070, AMD Radeon RX 5700 or Intel Arc A580 graphics card, while the graphics should have at least 6 GB of memory. Definitely nothing drastic, but you will have to put up with 1080p and Low settings. For Medium settings, you would already need a generation newer CPU and RTX 2070 or RX 5700 XT graphics, but Intel still has the Arc A580. VRAM requirements then increase to 8GB.
The next step is Hight preset in 1440p resolution. There, the demands are already increasing on the Core i7-10700K or Ryzen 5 5600X on the CPU side and the RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT on the GPU side. It is somewhat surprising that the Arc A770 appears alongside the high-end of the previous generation, although the aforementioned graphics are roughly 70% more powerful. Either by some miracle the game runs much better on Intel than on cards from AMD or Nvidia, or the specifications are rather poorly written.
As for the very highest target, the developers state High settings in 4K, where a Core i5-12600K or Ryzen 7 5700X processor and an RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX graphics card are required. VRAM requirements have been raised to 12GB, which is less than both cards offer.
Otherwise, for all presets, you will need 16 GB of RAM, 70 GB of disk space (only SSDs are supported, not HDDs) and Windows 10 or 11.
But you probably noticed that no number with target FPS appears in any column. This leads me to believe that with these specs, the developers are aiming for 30 frames per second, which is how the title will run on consoles as well. It is also stated below that you can use upscaling to achieve higher frame rates or resolutions. On the positive side, as in many other UE5 games, all the main technologies will be available here: DLSS, FSR and XeSS.
Epic’s TSR is not mentioned, but it probably won’t be missing either, as it is integrated directly into Unreal Engine 5. It is not clear, however, whether the game will offer support for image generation. Support for DLSS 3 and FSR 3 is specifically mentioned, but this does not necessarily mean confirmation of the frame gen, due to the rather confusing markings.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II launches on May 21st for PC and Xbox Series X|S. You can look forward to the official Czech localization.
