Hellraiser: Revival Opens To Overwhelmingly Positive Steam Rating
An Overwhelmingly Positive Steam rating at release gives Saber Interactive a player-side result the Hellraiser license has not recently produced on its own, and the four-platform launch puts the game in front of console buyers at the same time as PC.

Saber Interactive released Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival on October 8. The single-player first-person survival horror game is available on PC via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, priced at 5,900 yen with tax included. Players control Aidan, descending into the maze of the otherworldly hell Labyrinth to rescue his captive lover, fighting with firearms, melee weapons, and the power held in the cube Genesis Configuration while avoiding Pinhead.
Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is a single-player first-person survival horror game, and its combat kit is wider than the license alone would suggest: firearms, melee weapons, and a power drawn from the mysterious cube Genesis Configuration. Those tools are for fighting hell's scoundrels, degenerates, and cultists, while the player also avoids pursuit by Pinhead, whose head is pierced with countless nails.
The source material is the 1987 UK horror film Hellraiser, based on Clive Barker's novel The Hellbound Heart, which has produced multiple sequels including reboot works up to 2022. The game sells for 5,900 yen including tax.
