Another exciting week of releases is coming to Steam – we show you what highlights await you

Even though it’s a public holiday today, we’re once again presenting the most important Steam releases of the week! This time you can expect a highlight that is right up there in terms of both graphics and storytelling

Highlight of the week: Hellblade 2

(Genre: Action-Adventure – Developer: Ninja Theory – Release: May 21 (Steam& Game Pass))

The action adventure game developed by Ninja TheorySenua’s Saga: Hellblade 2takes you back to the dark world of Celtic mythology this week. The protagonist Senua returns and embarks on a new, even darker journey that will once again put her psyche to the test

The developers have once again done everything they can to raise the graphics to a new level: The game relies on Unreal Engine 5 and motion capturing ensures lifelike animations. The binaural audio design is also intended to create an immersive soundscape that makes the psychological horror and emotional intensity of the game even more tangible.
