‘Hellraiser: Revival’ Brings Back Clive Barker and Original Pinhead for Brutal Official Game [Trailer]

hellraiser

ICYMI: After nearly four decades, the Hellraiser franchise is finally transforming into a fully immersive video game. Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival—the first true playable adaptation of the iconic horror series is now officially in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox. Watch the trailer below.

Hellraiser Creator and original Pinhead reunite

The original actor behind Pinhead, Doug Bradley, returns to reprise his chilling role and its his first full return to the character since 2005’s Hellraiser: Hellworld Franchise creator Clive Barker is reportedly very involved in the project, lending creative input to ensure the game remains faithful to his original, dark vision.

Players will step into the shoes of Aidan, a man who must venture into a hellish labyrinth after solving the mysterious “Genesis Configuration” puzzle box to save his girlfriend, Sunny, from the Cenobites’ realm of suffering. The game blends first-person survival horror with intense action, using both weapons and supernatural powers granted by the box to confront cultists, monsters, and the ever‑ominous Cenobites.

This announcement is a major development for horror fans: the Hellraiser universe has, until now, never been the subject of a full-fledged video game. Previous appearances—like Pinhead’s cameo in Dead by Daylight—were limited and licensing‑bound. Revival promises to be a visceral, story-driven experience right at the heart of Barker’s seductive nightmare realm

Warnings from the developer are, lets just say, extremely hype:

The game features depictions of mature language, strong violence, gore, torture, consensual mutilation, drug and alcohol abuse, tobacco use, and non-explicit consensual s*x. Narrative sequences additionally contain themes of suicide, domestic abuse, BDSM practices, and addiction.
