Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games have released a brand-new developer diary video today for the upcoming survival-horror action game Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam later this year.
Featuring Doug Bradley, the legendary Pinhead himself, this new look at the game delves into how the dev team is tapping into the series’ most primal elements to bring the infamous Hellraiser universe to life as a video game for the very first time.
With an IP as complex and exotic as Hellraiser, the development team had a wealth of lore to choose from between films, books, comics, and more. But the real challenge was to recapture what made Hellraiser so uniquely gripping from the very beginning, finding the series’ heart while going beyond the expected to deliver something truly surprising.
From story to gameplay to effects and more, the result is a chilling experience that gives players unbelievable powers that bridge our world with that of the Labyrinth and the Cenobites’ grand schemes.
In Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, players will embark on a battle for survival against Hell’s armies with a terrifying new story in the Hellraiser universe. You will descend into the darkest depths of the underworld to rescue your love from an eternal realm of torment at the hands of the depraved Cenobites.
Face your deepest fears against Hell’s most deviant wretches, cultists, and creatures with the infernal powers of the Genesis Configuration puzzle box and an arsenal of earthly weapons.
