For the very first time, the iconic Hellraiser franchise is stepping into the video game realm with Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival.

Is there a release date?

As of now, there’s no set release date revealed for Hellraiser: Revival, but enthusiasts can add it to their wishlists on PC and console marketplaces in anticipation.

Platforms

Hellraiser: Revival is confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam.

The game doesn’t seem to be designed with last-generation consoles in mind, implying it’s intended for modern gaming systems instead.

Trailers

On July 22nd, we shared the announcement trailer for Hellraiser: Revival, offering viewers a rough minute of footage. Please note that this video may not be suitable for those with a weak stomach, as it contains gruesome scenes, similar to Doom, such as fleshy adversaries, intense body horror, and an abundance of gore.

The trailer contains explicit nudity, so it might be advisable to watch it in private instead of public settings.

Gameplay

In Hellraiser: Revival, gamers tap into the enigmatic power of the Genesis Configuration, an intricate puzzle box that unleashes shadowy, otherworldly skills. You’ll employ it in conjunction with standard weaponry to endure intense conflicts against deformed cult members, hideous monsters, and malevolent spirits.

As the narrative progresses, prepare yourself for challenging dilemmas that subtly intertwine redemption and torment, where each choice further immerses you in Clive Barker’s realm of agony and ecstasy.

Hellraiser: Revival story
