Hellblade and London’s Passarella Death Squad Unite for a Shadow-Soaked Capsule

by

Summary:

  • Action-adventure video game Hellblade and London Passarella Death Squad have collaborated on a capsule collection.
  • It launches August 8, ahead of the release of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Enhanced Edition for PlayStation 5 on August 12.
  • Visually rich graphics and text mirrors both parties’ beautifully dark storytelling.

Both Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice (a video game) and Passarella Death Squad (a creative studio) have been praised for their striking beauty and intense themes. Hellblade, developed by Ninja Theory, is an action-adventure game steeped in Celtic and Norse mythology. The main character, Senua, is a warrior on a journey through a nightmarish underworld. On the other hand, Passarella Death Squad is a British creative entity producing clothing, music, literature, and art, all characterized by a modern noir style reminiscent of The Factory, Andy Warhol’s legendary Manhattan studio.

In honor of the launch of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Enhanced Edition on PlayStation 5, they’re teaming up once more to showcase a special limited-edition clothing line called ‘Hellblade x Passarella’, featuring carefully selected pieces.

Suitably, the London-based studio’s music has been included in the cherished game. More precisely, a remixed adaptation of their song “Just Like Sleep” is played during the climactic battle scene, characterized by eerie synth patterns, lingering echoes, and a profound blend of beauty and sadness.

Displaying their common enchanting twilight charm in the campaign visuals, this unique launch offers both short and long sleeved T-shirts emblazoned with graphics that mirror both brands’ dedication to vivid narratives. One of the T-shirts bears the phrase “I see beyond your darkness” on its back. The collection further comprises four jackets with a contemporary street style, four sweaters, and a short-sleeved shirt as well.

Each item is meticulously made in England, combining Japanese and English textiles. The designs aim to evoke the eerie elegance of Hellblade, as seen through Passarella Death Squad’s distinctive, darkly romantic, and cinematic perspective.

The collaboration between Hellblade and Passarella Death Squad has just dropped, preceding the launch of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Enhanced Edition on PlayStation 5, set for August 12.
