Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival<\/a> was announced a year ago, and developer diaries<\/a> have fed us scraps of information since, but we’ve been lacking a release date until now. Hellraiser: Revival launches on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X\/S on 8th October, 2026.<\/p>\n The date came from a gruesome new trailer on the game’s official website<\/a> and YouTube, which does a better job than other previews of showing off how the game actually plays.<\/p>\n From the ability to invoke the Cenobites’ hooks – the iconic extra-dimensional beings from the movies and the original novella – to using pyrokinesis, the combat loop goes well beyond simply shooting at and smacking demonic horrors until they’re, um, dead again. The Genesis Configuration box used by the protagonist – which is different from the Lament cube that invokes the Cenobites in the films – can also be used to help with puzzles, so there’s at least a promise of more varied gameplay.<\/p>\n The game, which has been described as sexually explicit, violent, and gory<\/a>, will be available in two different editions: Standard ($39.99) and Deluxe ($49.99). Regional pricing hasn’t been revealed at the time of writing, but Hellraiser: Revival is targeting a lower price point than other high-profile releases, which could help its case in the run-up to a Halloween season that’s looking increasingly busy<\/a> as GTA 6<\/a>‘s November launch looms.<\/p>\n There’s also mention of two different Collector’s Editions coming on the official website<\/a>, but details on their contents aren’t available yet.<\/p>\n Described as a first-person survival horror game, Hellraiser: Revival is an original story which follows Aidan, a regular guy who must use the Genesis Configuration after coming in contact with the Cenobites to help his girlfriend escape from the Labyrinth dimension. The game has been described as a messed-up “love story<\/a>” in the past, though I’d be surprised if it has a happy ending.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
