It's Pinheaded for Halloween.
Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival was announced a year ago, and developer diaries have fed us scraps of information since, but we've been lacking a release date until now. Hellraiser: Revival launches on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on 8th October, 2026.
The date came from a gruesome new trailer on the game's official website and YouTube, which does a better job than other previews of showing off how the game actually plays.
From the ability to invoke the Cenobites' hooks - the iconic extra-dimensional beings from the movies and the original novella - to using pyrokinesis, the combat loop goes well beyond simply shooting at and smacking demonic horrors until they're, um, dead again. The Genesis Configuration box used by the protagonist - which is different from the Lament cube that invokes the Cenobites in the films - can also be used to help with puzzles, so there's at least a promise of more varied gameplay.
The game, which has been described as sexually explicit, violent, and gory , will be available in two different editions: Standard ($39.99) and Deluxe ($49.99). Regional pricing hasn't been revealed at the time of writing, but Hellraiser: Revival is targeting a lower price point than other high-profile releases, which could help its case in the run-up to a Halloween season that's looking increasingly busy as GTA 6 's November launch looms.
There's also mention of two different Collector's Editions coming on the official website , but details on their contents aren't available yet.
Described as a first-person survival horror game, Hellraiser: Revival is an original story which follows Aidan, a regular guy who must use the Genesis Configuration after coming in contact with the Cenobites to help his girlfriend escape from the Labyrinth dimension. The game has been described as a messed-up " love story " in the past, though I'd be surprised if it has a happy ending.
