Saber Interactive is unleashing a new chapter in the legendary Hellraiser franchise with Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, a first-person survival horror that hopes to push the boundaries of horror gaming. Developed with the full backing of horror mastermind Clive Barker himself, the game seeks to remain true to the franchise’s dark legacy.
In Hellraiser: Revival, players step into the shoes of Aidan, an unlikely protagonist who finds himself in a world of torment and horror. Armed with a variety of melee and ranged weapons, Aidan must navigate through the labyrinthine horrors of the Cenobites, cultists, and the tormented realm of the Labyrinth.
At the heart of the story is Aidan’s desperate quest to escape his bargain with the infamous Pinhead, while also trying to save his girlfriend, Sunny, from a fate worse than death. As players venture deeper into the world, they’ll uncover the horrific secrets of the Genesis Configuration, a mystical force that holds the key to survival and destruction.
Hellraiser: Revival stands apart from other survival horror games with a commitment to capturing the visceral essence of Hellraiser’s exploration of pain and pleasure, themes that have defined the franchise for decades.
Saber Interactive’s team states they have poured “countless hours” into crafting a game that doesn’t shy away from disturbing moments that will leave players on the edge of their seat. From pulse-pounding encounters with the Cenobites to the ever-present sense of dread, the game promises to offer an unforgettable journey into the darkest corners of Clive Barker’s imagination. According to Barker:
The dedication that Saber and Boss Team Games have shown is nothing short of remarkable. They’ve immersed themselves in the Hellraiser universe, capturing its essence — the seductive pull of suffering, the beauty within the grotesque — and forged a narrative that invites players to step beyond the threshold. I’m eager for both the curious and the damned to experience this new chapter in the Hellraiser mythos, where every moment balances on the brink of nightmare and revelation.
More will be revealed in time as 2025 continues, as the game is being released on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. You can stay tuned as we continue to provide coverage and watch the new announcement trailer for Hellraiser: Revival below.
