Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival age rating
ESRB: Mature 17+. The rating is listed on both console storefronts. Xbox shows MATURE 17+, and the PlayStation Store carries the same M rating with the descriptor set below.
The six content descriptors
PS5 store listing, verbatim: "Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Use of Drugs."
That is a full six-descriptor M rating, which is on the heavy end even for the category. In practice it means graphic dismemberment and gore, sexual content and nudity that are part of the plot rather than incidental, strong profanity, and depicted drug use. It is not a rating that any part of the game has been softened to avoid.
It was not cut to satisfy a ratings board
The game was kept uncut rather than trimmed. The relevant beat is that Saber Interactive has publicly framed the M rating as something the game earns and keeps, rather than a ceiling it edited down to. The practical evidence is in the descriptors themselves and in the demo and gameplay footage, both of which include content the publisher has had to flag as mature. For what the rating means for playing it, see gameplay.
Other rating boards: not announced
- PEGI (Europe) — Not announced. No PEGI rating has been published for this title as of September 27, 2026.
- USK (Germany) — Not announced.
- CERO (Japan) — Not announced.
- South Korea, Australia and other boards — Not announced.
Because those ratings are missing, do not assume the European or Japanese release carries the same content. Boards occasionally require edits that the ESRB does not, so an unrated region is a genuinely open question rather than a formality.
One practical consequence reported for this title is that digital pre-orders are not available in USK and CERO territories while those ratings are pending. Treat that as pending rather than settled: it is the kind of restriction that is lifted the moment a rating is issued, and we have not been able to confirm it against a first-party statement. If you are in a region without a rating, check your local store before planning a pre-order.
What this means when you buy
- The rating itself does not gate the purchase — you can buy it as an adult regardless of region.
- Platform-level age gates and parental controls apply as usual.
- If you are buying for someone else, Mature 17+ is not a soft rating: the descriptors include sexual content and drug use.
- This page does not carry advertising for the game to minors, and our own coverage is written to the adult reader.
