Publisher 505 Games Partners with Ninja Theory to Bring Physical PS4 Release of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice to Retail Stores Worldwide

I have played Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice on the PlayStation 4 from beginning to end myself and bought the digital copy.  This game is fantastic and one of the most emotional and story driven games I have played.  It is also one of the fewer games that supports Surround Sound and 3D Surround and sounds so much better when you play with a surround sound headset because the voices in Senua’s head come at you from all directions and make it that much more immersive and creepy when you are listening to it in surround sound.

Now, for collectors there is a physical PS4 and Xbox One release coming this December 4th 2018, this is your chance to own a physical copy if you don’t already own a digital copy or you want to just have a physical copy as some people prefer owning a library that is tangible rather than digital.

 

Did you play Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice yet?  Or are you thinking about getting a copy?  Let us know.

 

Below is the official press release

CALABASAS, Calif. – Oct. 9, 2018 – Indie publisher 505 Games today announced it has entered into an agreement with developer Ninja Theory to bring a physical version of the critically-acclaimed Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice to global retail shelves on Tuesday, Dec. 4, just in time for the holidays.
