Painkiller Reboot Delayed to October 21 as 3D Realms Unveils 'Rogue Angel' Roguelike Mode

Rogue Angel delivers run-based co-op in Purgatory with tarot-driven progression, separate from the main campaign.

Overview

  • 3D Realms and Anshar Studios moved the launch from October 9 to October 21 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
  • A new mode called Rogue Angel sends players into procedurally generated arenas in Purgatory with tarot card upgrades, item drops, and boss runs.
  • The release supports solo play or online co-op for up to three players, with Rogue Angel presented as separate from the campaign.
  • Preorders are available in Standard and Deluxe editions, with physical copies on PlayStation and Xbox offering bonus gold weapon skins.
  • Some coverage highlights concern that the co-op roguelike focus departs from the original game's single‑player identity.
