Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival has been revealed with a first-look trailer that’s borderline pornographic. The short introduction to Hellraiser: Revival features frontal nudity and intimate scenes from the beginning, but it quickly gives way to terror, violence, gore, and intense combat.
In a follow-up blog post, it was announced that Hellraiser: Revival is a first-person, single-player survival title that ‘will put you into the dark world of Clive Barker’s twisted imagination.’
Terrifying
The trailer for Hellraiser: Revival is not for the weak of heart. It’s a smutty romp that breaks down into horrific gore within a matter of seconds, serving as the perfect introduction to a game that promises to shock players.
Here’s the trailer (age verification may be needed):
In a blog post on the PlayStation site, Saber Interactive’s Tim Willits broke down the concept of Hellraiser: Revival:
You will play as Aidan, the protagonist in the story who must fight with various melee and ranged weapons, and use the mystical powers of the Genesis Configuration to take down unholy enemies. Finding a way to survive your bargain with the infamous Pinhead and help your girlfriend Sunny escape is never as simple as it seems in a world filled with Cenobites, cultists, deviants, and the realm of torture and pain that is the Labyrinth.
Clive Barker has been consulting on the project to ensure it’s as authentic as possible, reflecting every inch of the demonic horror franchise that was kicked off back in the 1980s.
More will be revealed later this year, and the game is set to be released on Xbox Series XS, PC, and PlayStation 5.
