Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival drops a new dev diary
Saber Interactive and developers Boss Team Games have released a new dev diary for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, explaining a little about the games story, along with the original Hellraiser himself Doug Bradley.
Please note given Hellraisers extreme violence, sex and other content, the trailer is only viewable on YouTube and you must be signed in.
With an IP as large and as deep 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 which gives players unbelievable powers that bridge our world with that of the Labyrinth and the Cenobites’ grand schemes.
Embark on a battle for survival against Hell’s armies with a terrifying new story in the Hellraiser universe in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival! 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. Even in Hell, your suffering will be legendary…
The game is coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the date only set as 2026. Given the source material and content, I would imagine October would be the perfect month, but we will need to wait and see.
