Saber Interactive, in partnership with Boss Team Games, has announced Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, a single-player survival-horror action game in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. In a first-person perspective, players assume the role of Aidan, who must harness the dark powers of the Genesis Configuration puzzle box to rescue his girlfriend from the nightmarish Labyrinth. The game reunites Doug Bradley with his iconic role as Pinhead after nearly twenty years and enlists series creator Clive Barker as a guiding creative consultant to ensure fidelity to the Hellraiser mythos.
Hellraiser: Revival represents the first dedicated video-game adaptation of Barker’s franchise, featuring an original story rather than a direct film retelling. While no release date has yet been announced, the title is available for wishlist on Steam, PlayStation Store, and Xbox Store. Collector’s-edition bundles will include physical collectibles such as an illuminated replica of the Lament Configuration puzzle box, a polystone Cenobite statue, and other themed memorabilia designed to appeal to both longstanding fans and newcomers to the series.
