Saber Interactive Unveils Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival – A Survival Horror Game for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC

Introducing Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival – A New Horror Adventure

In an exciting announcement last week, Saber Interactive hinted at an upcoming horror game that has now been confirmed to be a brand new addition to the Hellraiser franchise. Titled Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, this survival horror experience promises to immerse players in a rich narrative drawn from the iconic lore of the series.

Game Overview and Storyline

According to a detailed update on Xbox Wire, executive producer Nenad Tomic describes the game as a “single-player, survival horror action game”that emphasizes storytelling. Players will assume the role of Aidan, who embarks on a harrowing journey to save his girlfriend, Sunny, after she is ensnared by the infamous Pinhead through a twisted puzzle box known as the Genesis Configuration. The narrative not only serves as a thrilling horror adventure but also invites players to navigate the unsettling Labyrinth in search of her return.

Creative Contributions from Clive Barker

The game’s authenticity is bolstered by the direct involvement of Clive Barker, the original creator of the Hellraiser mythos. Tomic has noted that Barker’s extensive contributions range from visual aesthetics to narrative elements, ensuring the game resonates with the terrifying spirit of the franchise.“The dedication that Saber and Boss Team Games have shown is nothing short of remarkable, ”Barker remarked in a press release, emphasizing the studio’s deep understanding of the Hellraiser universe and its darker themes.

A New Story within Familiar Terrains

While borrowing elements from the first two Hellraiser films, Tomic reassures fans that Hellraiser: Revival offers a unique storyline set within its established universe. Players can expect familiar icons, such as the Genesis Configuration and Cenobites, which will anchor the game to its horror roots while exploring fresh narratives.
