The Hellraiser series has undergone significant changes over the decades. From the highs of its first few films to the gutter lows of some dreadful late-in-the-day sequels, the iconic imagery of Pinhead and his sadistic crew of Cenobites has remained strong. After a reboot film from David Bruckner, it was about time we got an actual Hellraiser game.
Enter Saber Interactive, no stranger to pulling off a successful horror film-to-game adaptation after World War Z, Ghostbusters, Evil Dead, and A Quiet Place all brought something to the bloodstained table.
In Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, there’s a brand new story in the Hellraiser canon. We’ll play as Aidan, a man who must use the power of a mysterious puzzle box – the Genesis Configuration – to help his girlfriend Sunny escape from the otherworldly hellscape of the Labyrinth.
We’ll wield the terrible power of the box to survive a bargain with the infamous Pinhead and to battle a cult devoted to the Cenobites.
A Hellraiser game is an exciting prospect (in a grim sort of way), so we’re all eager to know what the Hellraiser: Revival release date is, and what sights it has to show us. Let’s see what we know so far:
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Release Date
While there’s no concrete release date for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival at present, it is expected to be released sometime in 2026. So we’d expect it to launch after the Summer, and lazy as it might seem, you can’t rule out an October release for a horror game, can you?
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Gameplay
The glimpse we’ve seen of Hellraiser: Revival’s gameplay is in a first-person perspective and features typical grisly imagery.
It’s looking like a mixture of Condemed’s grimy, intimate combat and Amnesia’s hellish horrors. If it plays out half as well as those games, we’ll be in for a treat.
