The Hellraiser series has undergone significant changes over the decades. From the highs of its first few films to the gutter lows of some dreadful late-in-the-day sequels, the imagery of Pinhead and his sadistic crew of Cenobites has remained strong. After a reboot film from David Bruckner, Hellraiser: Revival might be the video game adaptation we were waiting for.
Enter Saber Interactive, no stranger to pulling off a successful horror film-to-game adaptation after World War Z, Ghostbusters, Evil Dead, and A Quiet Place all brought something to the bloodstained table.
In Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, there’s a brand new story in the Hellraiser canon. We’ll play as Aidan, a man who must use the power of a mysterious puzzle box – the Genesis Configuration – to help his girlfriend Sunny escape from the otherworldly hellscape of the Labyrinth. We’ll also wield the terrible power of the box to survive a bargain with the infamous Pinhead and to battle a cult devoted to the Cenobites…
A Hellraiser game is an exciting prospect (in a grim sort of way), so we’re all eager to know what the Hellraiser: Revival release date is, and what sights it has to show us. Let’s see what we know so far.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Release Date
As expected, Hellraiser: Revival is going for the Halloween crowd (the occasion, not the film or the game that comes out in September).

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Gameplay
The glimpses we’ve seen of Hellraiser: Revival’s gameplay is in a first-person perspective and features the typical grisly imagery. It’s looking like a mixture of Condemned: Criminal Origins’ grimy, intimate combat and Amnesia’s hellish horrors. If it plays out half as well as those games, we’ll be in for a treat.
As the developer delved deeper into how Hellraiser plays, we learned that dismemberment plays a major role in its melee combat. When we’re not violently dispatching foes, we’ll have to figure out the solutions to all manners of strange and grotesque puzzles. Ranged weapons and even the Genesis Configuration are in as well, but we don’t know how often we’ll have access to bullets and otherworldly powers.
We’ll face different types of enemies, including human foes belonging to the Scarlet Church and the monstrous Unworthy, people who failed Cenobite tests, among others.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Story
Hellraiser: Revival is set in 2006, in the small US town of Claireport, and follows Aidan, whose girlfriend Sunny becomes caught up with supernatural forces surrounding the mysterious Genesis Configuration puzzle box.
Aidan soon finds himself in the nightmarish Labyrinth hellscape in an attempt to save her. To survive, he has to use the powers of the Genesis Configuration while fighting the demonic Cenobites and an evil cult devoted to them. The iconic Pinhead also features heavily in the game and is voiced by Doug Bradley, who first played him in 1987 and last did so in 2005.
