Hellblade 2’s Australian R rating suggests it could be more violent than its predecessor

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, the sequel to Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, has received an R 18+ rating from the Australian Classification Board, the country’s top media regulatory body. The ACB’s rating implies “high-impact violence,” suggesting a more brutal rendition of the Nordic hellscape than the previous game had.

While we don’t know exactly what parts of the game caused the ACB to rate it with their second-highest label, it’s bound to be drastically more graphic than its predecessor. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, which came out in 2017, received an MA 15+ age rating from the Australian Classification Board. Initially, Hellblade 2 was also rated MA 15+ in June 2023, but that has since changed.
