02 / OVERVIEWWhat is Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival?
Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is a single-player first-person action horror survival game developed and published by Saber Interactive. You play Aidan, who has to master the Genesis Configuration — a new puzzle box in the Hellraiser canon — to reach his girlfriend Sunny inside the otherworldly Labyrinth and survive his bargain with Pinhead. It arrives on October 8, 2026 for $39.99 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.
Combat mixes melee weapons with durability, firearms, crafting and the box's own abilities, such as telekinesis and Hell Chains, and the game leans hard into gore: it has been rated ESRB Mature 17+ and was kept uncut rather than trimmed for ratings boards. There is no co-op and no crossplay — Saber's own FAQ describes it as a single-player game, and the Steam listing carries no multiplayer tags.

Quick answers
04 / FAQClive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival FAQ
Is Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival a video game or a new Hellraiser film?
It is a video game. Saber Interactive is developing and publishing it as a first-person action horror survival title for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 on October 8, 2026. The Hellraiser films are a separate, earlier body of work: this is a licensed adaptation set inside Clive Barker's own canon, built as a game rather than a movie or a streaming series, which is why IMDb carries it as a Video Game entry.
Which Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival edition is the physical Day One Edition?
The Day One Edition is the physical PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X release published by PLAION. It contains the base game plus the 'Labyrinth' pistol skin and 'Märtyrer' sawblade skin DLC, and it is a different product from the three collector's editions sold by Boss Team Games. Watch the store you are buying from: the 'Day One Edition' labels on the Amazon listing for this game belong to SILENT HILL: townfall, an unrelated title from a different publisher.
Is there a demo I can play before release?
Yes. A free demo has been live on Steam since September 17, 2026, and Steam is the only platform that has one — there is no PlayStation 5 or Xbox demo. It covers the opening stretch in the Labyrinth and the first encounter with the Scarlet Church. Demo progress does not carry over: the demo's own Steam page states that 'progress in the demo will not carry over to the full game', so do not expect demo saves, unlocks or achievements to follow you into the full release (app 5184670, as of September 27, 2026).
Does Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival have co-op or crossplay?
No. Saber Interactive's official FAQ calls it a single-player first-person action horror survival game, and the Steam listing carries only Single-player with no co-op, PvP or cross-platform tags. Part of the confusion is understandable: Pinhead appeared as a killer in Dead by Daylight, but that is an unrelated multiplayer game.
Will the Switch 2 version be cut down or run worse?
Not announced. Saber Interactive has confirmed the Switch 2 release and the October 8, 2026 date, but has published nothing about resolution, frame rate or content cuts, and Nintendo's own store page returned no product data when it was checked. Any claim about Switch 2 performance at this stage is speculation.
Does Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival have multiple endings?
Not announced. Saber Interactive has never said the game has multiple endings, branching paths or New Game Plus, and no store field or FAQ entry supports it. Treat any ending list published before October 8, 2026 as a guess.
Is Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival verified for Steam Deck?
No — not yet rated. Steam's compatibility report for app 1551980 returns an empty result as of September 27, 2026, and the store page shows no Deck badge. That means the game is neither Verified nor marked Unsupported yet; a rating normally appears shortly before launch.
