If you’re deciding whether to jump into Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival this Halloween season, the latest trailer plus a confirmed October 8 launch date make the decision easier. This single-player first-person survival horror tasks you with rescuing a loved one from the Labyrinth—while Pinhead and a mix of firearms and supernatural powers drive the fight.
What’s new: trailer and confirmed October 8 launch
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is set to kick off the Halloween season with a newly revealed launch window and trailer. The game is scheduled to arrive on October 8, positioning it as a timely entry for fans of horror that want a dedicated single-player experience rather than a multiplayer grind.
Who you play as—and how the horror fights back
The game is built around an original story in the Hellraiser universe, placing players in the shoes of Aidan. The central goal is straightforward: rescue your girlfriend from the hellish Labyrinth. As you push deeper into that nightmare space, Pinhead takes a prominent role, with original actor Doug Bradley reprising the character.
In combat, Aidan isn’t limited to one approach. The gameplay combines guns with supernatural abilities, including pyrokinesis, telekinesis, and Hell Chains. That blend suggests a horror adventure where you’re expected to manage threats with both conventional weaponry and powers tailored for the supernatural dangers ahead.
Studios, platforms, and what to do next
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is being developed by Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games. It will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, so players across major current-gen ecosystems and storefronts can line up without platform-specific waiting.
If you’re following the horror pipeline, the practical next step is to watch the latest trailer and gauge whether the first-person, single-player structure—and the specific powers like pyrokinesis and Hell Chains—matches the kind of Hellraiser experience you want. With the release date now pinned to October 8, there’s less uncertainty about when you can actually play.
