Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2’s immersive binaural audio design, haunting story, and stunning photo-realistic visuals are accentuated by the well-honed vocal work from its voice actors. Their performances are integral to bringing Senua’s haunting character study to life, even more so given the sonic heavy-lifting done to prop up its brave themes.

Senua – Melina Juergens

Having earned several awards, including a BAFTA for her performance in the series’ first game, Melina Juergens reprises the role of Senua in Hellblade 2. As surprising as it is impressive, Juergens' voice work starts and ends with the two Hellblade games. Her portrayal of Senua's complex emotional landscape has been pivotal in immersing players into the series' dark yet captivating world.

Fargrímr – Gudmundur Thorvaldsson

A chance encounter that turns into a crucial companion to Senua, Fargrímr is played by Gudmundur Thorvaldsson. The actor is known for roles both in games and on screen.

Thorvaldsson's ability to bring depth and nuance to his characters adds a significant layer to Hellblade 2's narrative.

Thórgestr – Chris O’Reilly

Chris O’Reilly plays Thórgestr, the vicious slaver who undergoes a major transformation in Hellblade 2, accompanying Senua on her quest to fell giants. Though predominantly a stuntman for films like Rise of the Footsoldier 3 and The Rebels, O’Reilly has also been involved in 2022’s The Quarry on the video game front. His transition from stuntman to voice actor brings a unique physicality and intensity to the role of Thórgestr.

The Furies – Helen Goalen and Abbi Greenland

The incessant voices both goading and encouraging Senua, known as The Furies, are voiced by Helen Goalen and Abbi Greenland.

Their combined efforts create an eerie, omnipresent auditory experience that enhances Senua’s psychological journey.

Zynbel – Steven Hartley

Though Zynbel, or the Shadow, is a physical character in Hellblade 2, he plays a vital role in depicting Senua’s mental state. Much like in the original game, Steven Hartley is responsible for bringing the character to life. The English actor has an enviable credit list, including UK TV mainstays like Holby City, The Bill, and Eastenders, Sky’s excellent Brassic, and films like Allies and The Walker. Hartley's seasoned experience brings a gravitas to Zynbel that is crucial in portraying the character's dark influence on Senua.

Goði – Clive Wood

Wood’s work in video games extends to Sea of Thieves, Company of Heroes 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III. But, Wood’s real home is on the boards and on-screen, with appearances in The Bill, Antony and Cleopatra, Suffragette, and Buster. His portrayal of Goði presents a formidable antagonist, whose presence looms large over Senua’s journey.

Narrator – Chipo Chung

The Narrator is voiced by Chipo Chung, a Zimbabwean actress who makes her first video game appearance in Ninja Theory’s sequel. She’s most known for TV and film appearances.

The duo’s portrayal of the Hiddenfolk adds a layer of mystique to Hellblade 2, enriching the game's already atmospheric world.
