Another week of May full of launches. And the highlight could not be otherwise Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2an expected exclusive game for Xbox Series S/X and PC, which promises to be Microsoft’s big bet for 2024 — at least in the first half of the year.

And finally, we also have the arrival of Ships at Sea, a ship simulator that promises a high degree of realism, both in terms of visuals and gameplay.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 – May 21

After a long wait, one of the most anticipated exclusive games for the Xbox Series S/X will finally be released. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 arrives this week after much anticipation, as it is perhaps Microsoft’s biggest bet for this year, as, to date, there is no other long-awaited game for the platform.

The story takes place after the first game, where Senua is now a kind of “savior” of the oppressed in her region. After accepting her curse, the warrior must now deal with the voices in her head, and thus use them to her advantage to protect her people. The game is already on pre-sale for R$229.00, and will arrive for free, on launch day, for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
