Xbox Launches Official Hellblade 2 Merch Line Just In Time For Release Day
thegamer.comXbox has its first chance to regain some good faith since its recent studio shutdowns this week as Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 hits the Series X|S and PC on May 21. From the little gamers have gleaned from the closure of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, it feels like the studios' latest projects not moving the needle in terms of money likely played a big part in Xbox's decision.

Just the name of the game with Senua surrounded by hands underneath for $29.99. If you'd like something a little different, and you're willing to spend a little more, a black hoodie with the name of the game on the chest and some of its symbols printed down one of the sleeves is now in stock too, available for $39.99.
