For those of you who have been following us here, you may have seen our piece on the Saber Interactive teaser last week. We knew we’d get more information today and they have confirmed exactly what many had guessed. Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games are officially announcing upcoming project, Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival. We’ll post the trailer below, but careful readers, it is a bit NSFW!
Hellraiser: Revival is a single player, action survival horror experience that it seems many have been waiting for. Sorry Dead By Daylight, you may have had a Hellraiser chapter, but this will be an entire experience. In Hellraiser: Revival, play as Aidan looking to help your girlfriend Sunny escape while navigating your bargain with pinhead, fighting with various weapons, and using the powers of the Genesis Configuration.
For this iteration of Hellraiser Saber Interactive was able to consult with Clive Barker himself to ensure this project would feel authentic to his vision. This means players and horror fans will be in for quite the treat. On the PlayStation Blog, Tim Willits wrote:
Hellraiser stands as one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time, and we fully understand the legacy we're stepping into. From the very start, we've committed to holding nothing back.
The Hellraiser universe is defined by its unflinching exploration of pain, pleasure, and the thin and terrifying line that separates the two. That essence is at the heart of our game.
As the trailer shows, this game promises to be much of what fans have come to expect from Pinhead and the Cenobites. If you’re brave, you can watch the redband trailer at https://hellraisergame.com/. You can already wishlist the game on Steam and PlayStation 5. Expect Xbox Series wishlists to be coming soon. While there is no release date just yet, Nenad Tomic, Executive Producer of the game shared with Xbox Wire that the release is “closer than you think” and there will be “more news to share later this year.”
