Hellraiser: Revival Sets October 8 Release for PC, PS5 and Xbox

Built with Clive Barker's input, the revival foregrounds explicit sexual and graphic gore as part of a Halloween sales push.

Overview

  • Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games announced Tuesday that Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival will launch on October 8, 2026 for PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
  • The publisher confirmed edition tiers and pricing with a $39.99 Standard edition, $49.99 Deluxe edition, and collector’s editions sold via the official site, plus pre-order skins (Labyrinth Pistol and Martyr Sawblade).
  • Doug Bradley returns to voice Pinhead and the game tells an original Hellraiser story in which protagonist Aidan uses the Genesis Configuration puzzle box to try to rescue his girlfriend from the Cenobites and the Labyrinth.
  • Trailers and hands-on previews emphasize intense sexual themes and graphic gore that some outlets compared to NC‑17 material, a creative choice that developers say is faithful to the franchise but may affect marketing and platform messaging.
  • Gameplay mixes first-person survival-horror staples—limited ammo, inventory and environmental puzzles—with action combat and supernatural powers from the Genesis Configuration, and the October date places the game in a busy fall release window that could affect its visibility.
