Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is a single-player survival horror action game developed and published by Saber Interactive. Built on Unreal Engine 5, it is set to release in late 2026 for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. The story was written with input from Clive Barker, the franchise creator.

Story
Aidan Lynch and his girlfriend Sunny stumble upon a supernatural puzzle box called the Genesis Configuration. When Aidan cuts Sunny with the box during sex, extradimensional, sadomasochistic beings called Cenobites are unleashed. Their leader, Pinhead, offers to take Sunny to Hell, and Aidan sets out to follow and rescue her. The game features encounters with Pinhead and other Cenobites, such as Butterball, Chatterer, and Deepthroat, as well as the villain Bruno, a sadistic artist. The action shifts between the real world and the Cenobites’ labyrinthine dimension.

Gameplay
Players view the world from a first-person perspective and must defend against hostile humans and Cenobites using both combat and stealth. They solve puzzles, gather resources, and craft items like healing gear and ammunition. Combat includes melee weapons and firearms. Blunt weapons (like clubs and baseball bats) can break through armor, while sharp weapons (knives, machetes) are more effective against unprotected foes; all melee weapons have limited durability. The Genesis Configuration puzzle box can be wielded as a weapon and grants extra abilities, including telekinesis. Some enemies cannot be killed in combat, requiring players to sneak or flee to survive.

Characters and setting
Aidan Lynch (voiced by or portrayed by Xalavier Nelson Jr.) and Sunny trigger the event that summons the Cenobites, leading to a confrontation with Pinhead. Other Cenobites appear, along with human foes, in a world that shifts between everyday reality and the Cenobites’ dark realm.

Development
Saber Interactive is developing the game for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S using Unreal Engine 5. Emil Esov serves as game director, Petra Nikolić as art director, and Anthony De Fault as narrative director. Barker was consulted on the story from the start. Doug Bradley reprises the role of Pinhead, following his film portrayal and his appearance in Dead by Daylight. Revival is described as the first Hellraiser video game and the second overall to feature Pinhead in any format. The project was first teased on July 17, 2025, and officially announced on July 22, 2025. A 45-minute demo was shown at Gamescom in August 2025.

Release and editions
The game is planned for release in late 2026 for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. Boss Team Games is releasing three collector’s editions, which include a Genesis Configuration puzzle box replica, a statue, an art book, a SteelBook case, and an art print signed by Barker.
