Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2got its first-ever patch today, addressing a myriad of issues and, finally, the misaligned peach fuzz on Senua’s face. Wait. Who notices that stuff?
Anyway,Hellblade 2patch 1.0.5.0is a small one, bringing around 20 fixes and changes to the game. Among the changes is one I feel is the most important for those who already finished the game. From now on, choosing the ‘New Story’ option in the menu will warn you that the feature will indeed reset your current progress. It didn’t say this before, no doubt prompting some to reassess using the option. I do wonder how many save files got wiped, though.

Hopefully, some of you at least found all thehidden facesandLorestangirbefore getting thrown back to the game’s intro.
Hellblade 2patch deals with issues and face fuzz
The remainder of the patch is fairly typical, save for that whole face fuzz exception. Among the former and the New Story warning above, the patch also fixes memory leaks, ghosting issues, mission captions, and some artifacting when using FSR3. There is also one fix that kinda spoils an event near the end of the game, so I’d suggest you avoid reading the patch notes directly.
I’ll post them below, sans spoilers (courtesy of Ninja Theory):
