<p>Senua's Saga: Hellblade II <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/xbox-developer-direct/2024/01/18/senuas-saga-hellblade-ii-releases-in-may">hits Xbox Series X/S and PC later this month on May 21</a>. However, its release arrives at a rocky period for Xbox, which just shuttered four Bethesda studios,&nbsp;including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/review/hi-fi-rush/riff-city">Hi-Fi Rush</a>&nbsp;team Tango Gameworks and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/review/redfall/a-life-draining-trip-to-new-england">Redfall</a> developer Arkane Austin. As a result, Xbox players have wondered how safe Hellblade II developer Ninja Theory might be after its sequel's release, given Hi-Fi Rush was a <a href="https://x.com/aarongreenberg/status/1649431572137779203">"break out hit"</a> for the company but wasn't enough to keep Tango open.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Perhaps to help boost Hellblade II's sales, Xbox is reportedly considering bringing the game to PlayStation 5, according to <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/8/24151814/microsoft-xbox-layoffs-strategy-changes-arkane-tango"><em>The Verge</em></a>. The publication's Tom Warren writes, "I understand Hellblade II is another game that Microsoft has been considering for the PS5. If that ever happens, at this point, it's not clear if even that would be considered a success." </p>

<p>Hellblade II coming to PS5 wouldn't be out of left field, considering Xbox has brought previously exclusive games like <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/product/grounded">Grounded</a>, <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/product/sea-of-thieves">Sea of Thieves</a>, and <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/product/hi-fi-rush">Hi-Fi Rush</a> to PS5 this year. However, with the launch of Hellblade II happening in just a few weeks, it seems if it does come to PS5, it will be post-launch, which lines up with Xbox's strategy in this realm thus far. </p>
