The gates of hell have opened, and Saber Interactive, in collaboration with Boss Team Games, has finally unveiled Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival—a single-player survival horror experience that marks the franchise’s first true foray into gaming. With Clive Barker himself guiding the narrative and Doug Bradley returning as the iconic Pinhead, this isn’t just a game—it’s a resurrection.
Set in a twisted world inspired by Barker’s mythos, players assume the role of Aidan, a man desperate to rescue his girlfriend Sunny from the nightmarish realm of the Cenobites. Central to gameplay is the Genesis Configuration, a cursed puzzle box that grants infernal powers at a deadly cost. Expect brutal melee combat, grotesque enemies, and psychological torment as you navigate corrupted Earth and the Labyrinth itself.
Unlike recent horror adaptations that lean into multiplayer formats, Hellraiser: Revival is a narrative-driven, single-player experience—a bold move that prioritizes immersion over matchmaking.
Collector’s Editions: Suffering, Beautifully Packaged
For fans of physical media and horror memorabilia, the announcement of two Collector’s Editions is a revelation:
- Hellraiser Puzzle Box Replica – A uniquely lit version of the Genesis Configuration, exclusive to these editions.
- Custom Display Statue – Crafted to showcase the puzzle box in all its infernal glory.
- Additional Collectibles – Officially licensed items designed specifically for this release, promising a tactile connection to Barker’s universe.
These editions are available now for pre-order via Boss Team Games, with the standard edition open for wishlisting on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. As of this writing, no official release date has been confirmed, but speculation points to a Halloween 2025 launch window, aligning with horror gaming’s seasonal surge.
The announcement trailer is a visceral showcase of what’s to come—chains, flesh, and the seductive pull of suffering. It teases combat against cultists and Cenobites, with glimpses of Chatterer and Butterball, and confirms the return of Doug Bradley’s chilling voice as Pinhead.
Hellraiser: Revival isn’t just another horror game—it’s a statement. With Barker’s direct involvement, a focus on single-player storytelling, and a reverence for the franchise’s legacy, Saber Interactive is crafting something that could rival Resident Evil and Silent Hill in psychological depth and grotesque beauty.
For collectors, horror aficionados, and fans of physical media, this is one release that demands shelf space—and perhaps a little blood.
