Painkiller is ready to fire, as the game is given an October release

Saber Interactive and developer Anshar Studios have announced that Painkiller, a new take on the classic series, will release this October 10 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. In celebration of the news, a new trailer has been released.

In the game your character has been sentenced for your transgressions against Heaven, but the Voice of the Creator is giving you one chance to redeem yourself. Blast through hordes of demons in brutal, fast-paced combat with an array of infernal weapons. Battle across gruesome gothic environments to stop the fallen angel Azazel’s invasion of Earth and earn your salvation – solo or in online co-op for up to three players.

Players will need to use tarot cards in order to upgrade abilities, ensuring that your arsenal packs the right punch for the right demon. The game revealed details on its weapons a few months back, for those keen.

The game is coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 10.
