# Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival release rollout > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/clive-barkers-hellraiser-revival-release-rollout > Updated: 2026-09-27T12:16:25.000Z. Sources: 18. Developments: 5. Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games have begun the marketing rollout for the survival-horror action game ‘Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival’. In August 2026, digital pre-orders were launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2. While physical pre-orders are available in Germany, digital sales in that region are currently paused pending a completed USK rating. By late September 2026, a free playable demo was released on Steam, allowing players to experience the game’s prologue, explore the Labyrinth, and practice combat, crafting, and puzzle-solving mechanics. New gameplay footage has showcased the protagonist, Aidan, navigating surreal environments and utilizing the Lemarchand box to solve puzzles by absorbing and emitting energy. Combat is described as “brutal and visceral,” requiring players to manage resources like ammunition and healing while facing entities such as Cultists, Runners, and Cenobites. Notably, Doug Bradley is confirmed to return to voice Pinhead. Developers have provided further details regarding the game’s thematic direction. Narrative Director Antony de Fault stated that the team aims to use psychological discomfort as a core emotional component, seeking to “put people at ease” through uncomfortable situations within the safe space of a video game. The experience will explore themes of violence, sexuality, and the relationship between pain and pleasure, while maintaining a distinction between unhealthy cult dynamics and consensual BDSM practices. The game is scheduled for official release on October 8, 2026, across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 version are available at $39.99, with a Deluxe Edition priced at $49.99. ## Claims - Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
