A New Era in Horror Gaming
“Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival” promises to be a nightmarish odyssey, a first-person, single-player survival horror journey into Barker’s mind-bending universe. Step into the shoes of Aidan, a protagonist teetering on the edge of despair as he ventures into the abyss to rescue his girlfriend. The stakes are scorching as players will need to utilize the enigmatic Genesis Configuration—a puzzle box of infernal power—to combat Pinhead and his devout cult of Cenobites.
An Icon Returns
A crucial part of this terrifying experience is the return of Doug Bradley as Pinhead, lending his chilling persona to the character after more than two decades. This revival isn’t just about evoking nostalgia; it’s about bridging the old with the new, promising a fresh narrative that delves deeply into themes of temptation, power, and the chaos that ensues.
Birthed from the Darkest Imaginings
In a statement that underlines the passion fueling this project, Clive Barker himself expressed, “Working on the first true Hellraiser game has been a venture deep into the recesses of my darkest imaginings.” This sentiment is echoed by Matthew Karch, CEO and co-founder of Saber Interactive, who remarked on the compelling nature of merging “the twisted depths of pain and pleasure” into a video game format.
From the Minds Behind Renowned Horror Games
Saber Interactive’s track record is a testament to their prowess in horror gaming, highlighted by successes like “World War Z” and “Evil Dead: The Game”. With “Hellraiser: Revival”, they’re poised to transcend these landmarks, embarking on an enthralling and spine-chilling journey.
