Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival was announced about a year ago, and developer diary entries have given us small pieces of information along the way. Still, we’ve been holding out for a confirmed release window—until today. Hellraiser: Revival launches on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on 8th October 2026.
This release date was revealed through a grim new trailer shared on the game’s official website and YouTube, where it showcases the gameplay more clearly than earlier previews.
Whether it’s the power to conjure the Cenobites’ hooks—those iconic extra-dimensional beings from the films and the original novella—or the use of pyrokinesis, Hellraiser: Revival’s combat clearly reaches far past simple shooting and repeated attacks on demonic foes until they’re, well, dead once again. The Genesis Configuration tool wielded by the protagonist (separate from the Lament cube used in the movies to summon the Cenobites) also appears to support puzzle-solving, hinting at a wider range of gameplay beyond combat alone.
Known for sexually explicit, violent, and graphic content, the game will arrive in two versions: Standard ($39.99) and Deluxe ($49.99). As of now, regional pricing hasn’t been revealed, but Hellraiser: Revival is positioned to cost less than other major releases—something that may help as we move toward a Halloween calendar that’s getting more crowded, particularly with GTA 6’s November release nearing.
On the official website, there’s also reference to two separate Collector’s Editions, though no information has been provided yet about what they include.
Presented as a first-person survival horror experience, Hellraiser: Revival brings an original storyline featuring Aidan, an ordinary man who must use the Genesis Configuration after encountering the Cenobites. His goal is to help his girlfriend escape from the Labyrinth dimension. The game has previously been described as a twisted “love story,” though it’s hard to imagine it ending on a bright note.
