The original game was not particularly long, though rich with story, but people thought that the sequel might be longer.

If you were wondering whether you have time to dive in and play Hellblade 2, here is all the information you need to know.

How long to beat Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2

Hellblade 2 is similar in length to the original game, and will take the average player around 8-10 hours to complete.

This time will obviously depend on your choice of difficulty, with harder difficulty settings taking longer, and playthroughs on easy difficulty being shorter.

You can also complete a number of optional objectives, such as finding hidden collectibles like the Lorestangir pillars and the Hidden Faces.

Completing all of these objectives will likely add 3-4 hours of gameplay to your time.
