A classic horror franchise has returned with a brand new PS5 survival game, available on the PlayStation Store. The title is developed and published by the team at Saber Interactive.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is now available on PS5 via the PlayStation Store. The game brings Clive Barker’s iconic horror universe to games with a new story set in the Hellraiser canon. The single-player game combines survival horror, stealth, and combat with graphic violence.
How Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival brings the iconic horror franchise to games
The Hellraiser franchise initially started with Clive Barker’s 1987 horror fantasy film of the same name. The R-rated film received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences, with its distinctive horror imagery and Cenobite designs standing out.
Pinhead has previously appeared in the popular horror game Dead by Daylight, where he appeared as downloadable content. Clive Barker’s Hellraiser Revival, however, features him as a central character within his own franchise, alongside other characters.
The gameplay focuses on the story involving Aidan, who must help his girlfriend Sunny escape from the hellscape of the Labyrinth after Sunny activates the Genesis Configuration, a mysterious puzzle box that brings the Cenobites into their world.
An official description for Hellraiser reads, “Wield the powers of the box to survive your bargain with the infamous Pinhead and do battle with the horrific cult devoted to the Cenobites.”
Players need to go through all the obstacles presented by Pinhead. His plan is simple: to unleash greater pain and pleasure than ever before. However, he acts more like a narrator than the main boss.
Players have to fight deadly villains, including the Female Cenobite and the Chatterer. The survival horror title features other enemies as well, including Bruno Keller, a new character created for the game. The overall experience keeps transitioning between reality and the Cenobites’ labyrinthine dimension.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is now available for $39.99 on the PlayStation Store for the Standard Edition.
