Excited to see Dark Rot mode making a comeback—permadeath adds such a thrilling edge to Senua’s already intense story. The DualSense haptics should make those eerie whispers feel even more immersive, too.

Nice to see Hellblade II getting some love with that 60 fps upgrade—Senua’s journey deserves buttery-smooth combat. The free PS5 upgrade is a solid move, though I’m still side-eyeing that Deluxe Edition price bump.
