Clive Barker's Hellraiser returns as a video game, bound for release on Xbox Series X|S and PC - The chilling horror movie I've long found terrifying is getting a game spin-off, an unexpected delight I never anticipated.
Saber Interactive, the developers behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, have unveiled a new horror game titled Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival. This highly anticipated title is set to release in 2025, and promises to deliver a chilling experience for players.
In Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, players will traverse the nightmarish realm of the Labyrinth, a place where reality and horror intertwine. The game follows Aiden, a young man on a mission to rescue his girlfriend Sunny from this hellish maze. Along the way, players will encounter cults and monstrous creatures that worship the Cenobites, the infamous demons from the Hellraiser franchise.
However, Aiden must be careful, as the Cenobites themselves are invincible and should be avoided. Instead, players must focus on preserving their mind and soul from succumbing to madness. The game combines action and survival horror elements with stealth, crafting, and combat. Players can crouch, slide, run, and hide, and use the box’s hellish powers along with earthly weapons to inflict pain or pleasure on enemies. Stealth sections involve avoiding cultists and grotesque enemies, while crafting can be used to heal the protagonist.
The game's visuals are nightmarish and dripping with dark atmosphere, with consultant input from Clive Barker himself to maintain authenticity. The narrative opens with a highly graphic and disturbing scene, setting the tone for a story that explores the bound relationship between pain and pleasure, expands Hellraiser’s mythology with new characters, and initiates Pinhead’s dark ritual for greater torment.
Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is a first-person, survival-horror game with action elements. It is set to release for Xbox Series X|S and PC, and is available for wishlisting on Xbox and Steam. The combat system looks brutal with plenty of gore, promising a visceral and intense experience for players.
Interestingly, the Hellraiser movie served as a major inspiration for the Warhammer 40,000 and Berserk franchises. Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is an original tale set in the Hellraiser universe, making it accessible for newcomers while still offering a thrilling experience for fans of the franchise.
In conclusion, Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival promises to be a terrifying and immersive experience. With its intense combat, dark atmosphere, and deep narrative, it is sure to be a must-play for horror fans everywhere. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new game.
