I have such sights to show you. Coming to PC and consoles this year is Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival from Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games. Set within the famed Hellraiser movie universe, and a new (age-restricted) trailer has just been released.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival delivers a terrifying new story in the legendary Hellraiser universe, a tale of passion, lust and temptation – and the gruesome consequences that follow. As Aidan, you’ll descend into the darkest depths of the underworld on a journey to rescue your girlfriend Sunny from an eternal realm of torment at the hands of the depraved Cenobites within the Labyrinth.
Battle for your love in an unholy war against Hell’s most deviant wretches, cultists and creatures with the infernal powers of the Genesis Configuration puzzle box and an arsenal of earthly weapons. But will you be able to hold onto your immortal soul against the malicious domination of Pinhead (voiced by series icon Doug Bradley)? Or will you succumb to your vices and suffer for eternity?

I’m really looking forward to this one, for two main reasons. First, it looks and feels like Hellraiser (one of my favourite horror films). It’s dark, it’s bloody, it’s a bit sexy, it’s Hellraiser. Second, it’s a singleplayer, story-focused horror title based on a popular IP. Pretty much all horror games based on fan-favourite films seem to be asymmetrical multiplayer things, and they’re all the same. It’s great to see a film-based horror game not follow the crowd and offer up a proper story-based bit of bloody action. Hopefully, this game will tear our souls apart.
