The wait hasn’t been long for Hellblade 2 players, as update 1.0.5.0 was released just two weeks after the title’s launch. Ninja Theory has worked to fix any bugs or issues found in the game, and now we can enjoy a smoother and worry-free gaming experience.
The update covers a wide range of fixes, from minor UI changes to fixes related to combat and animation issues.
