Hellblade 2 looks like the most visually ambitious Unreal Engine 5 game yet


Digital Foundry's take on the latest Hellblade 2 reveal.

The game also indulges in a lot of post-processing niceties, including a beautiful depth of field, which smoothly transitions between focal points and doesn't exhibit any kind of haloing artifacts. Image quality has been a question mark throughout development as the cinematic nature of the visuals reduces the aliasing artefacts on which pixel counts are made - and then there's the fact that the footage rarely presents cleanly viewed through the lens of YouTube's encoding. Ninja Theory has delivered 30.0Hz video for the asset, which isn't a great idea - we would recommend all developers capture, edit and export at the same 59.94Hz output as the console to avoid stuttering from mismatched timebases.
