Clive Barker’s Hellraiser Celebrates Twisted Valentine’s
Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games have marked Valentine’s Day in fitting fashion for the Hellraiser universe, releasing a new “love story” trailer for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival ahead of its 2026 launch.
Rather than roses and romance, the latest footage leans into the franchise’s core themes of desire, obsession and suffering. The trailer frames its horror around passion and temptation, blending brutal survival gameplay with imagery that underscores the Cenobites’ warped view of pleasure and pain.
A Descent into the Labyrinth
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival introduces a new original story set within the iconic horror universe. Players step into the role of Aidan, who descends into the Labyrinth to rescue his girlfriend, Sunny, from eternal torment at the hands of the Cenobites.
The narrative centres on obsession and sacrifice, positioning Aidan’s journey as both a rescue mission and a test of his own humanity. As he ventures deeper into Hell’s domain, players will confront cultists, monstrous entities and the sadistic Cenobites themselves.
Pinhead returns as a central antagonist, once again voiced by franchise icon Doug Bradley. His presence signals a direct connection to the films’ legacy, adding weight for longtime fans of the series.
Survival Horror Meets Infernal Power
Gameplay blends survival horror tension with action-driven combat. Aidan wields earthly weapons alongside the infernal abilities of the Genesis Configuration puzzle box, a key artefact that shapes both combat and progression.
The Valentine’s trailer highlights the psychological stakes as much as the physical danger. Holding onto one’s soul appears just as important as surviving the next encounter, reinforcing Hellraiser’s longstanding focus on temptation and consequence.
Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games have positioned Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival as a darker, more narrative-driven entry in the horror genre, leaning heavily on atmosphere, moral choices and the grotesque beauty of Barker’s world.
Collector’s Editions and Release Plans
Pre-orders are now open for two special Collector’s Editions through Boss Team Games. These limited editions include licensed collectibles inspired by the Hellraiser franchise, aimed squarely at dedicated fans.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival launches in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam. Further gameplay details are expected in the months ahead as the release window approaches.
