The much-anticipated demo for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is now accessible via Steam, building excitement for the game’s full release on 8th October. This game’s latest teaser, the Scarlet Church trailer, has also been unveiled, showcasing the cult’s goal of creating a “debauched paradise for mankind” in Clive Barker’s version of Hell. The trailer is heavily laden with disturbing imagery, including gore, sexual content, and violence, presented even in its censored form. Therefore, viewer discretion is advised.
Demo Details and Gameplay Elements
The demo invites players to navigate the ever-evolving Labyrinth, where they confront the Scarlet Church. The church has seized the Genesis Configuration, a mysterious and sought-after puzzle box integral to the game’s plot. Within the demo, players can get acquainted with the primary characters and learn foundational aspects of combat, crafting, and puzzle-solving. However, it’s important to note that progress made during the demo will not transfer to the final version of the game.
Pre-Orders and Editions
Gaming enthusiasts can now pre-order Hellraiser: Revival for £35. Alternatively, a Deluxe Edition is available for £45, offering additional incentives such as an exclusive Labyrinth Pistol Skin and a Martyr Sawblade Skin upon launch. Furthermore, two Collector’s Editions are also offered for pre-order. These come packed with exclusive licensed memorabilia and include all the benefits of the Deluxe Edition.
Release Date and Platforms
Initially announced a year ago, the game’s official release date was finally disclosed in June, marking its debut on 8th October 2026. Upon release, it will be available on multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
